Description
Following a winding path through Argentina, Chile, working at Scholium Project, and finally finding his way to North Yuba County, Dani Rozman connected with veteran winemaker Gideon Beinstock (Clos Saron, Renaissance) and thus was born La Onda. Though it literally translates to “the wave”, La Onda is also slang for “the vibe”, and Dani’s wines are all about capturing this sense, the essence of a time and place. Using low-intervention methods, native fermentations, neutral oak, and minimal sulfur, he does nothing that could obscure the terroir.
Amor Amarillo is Semillon~Sauvignon Blanc from North Yuba, CA. The Semillon sits directly above the Sauvignon Blanc on the same slope where the vines are over 40 years old, own-rooted and dry farmed. The fruit was harvested in a number of passes using the same process as Aguafiestas, where fruit is gradually added to the fermentation tank as it comes in over a few week period with a mix of direct press and foot stomped fruit before pressing. Dani lets the aging go a bit further in barrel than required so that there's the opportunity to combine the acidity with the richness from the lees.
