Grape: Rousanne, Marsanne, Muscat Blanc, Colombard
Vintage: 2023
Type: Orange

Martha Stoumen’s 2023 Post Filtration Orange brings together skin-contact Roussanne, Marsanne, Muscat Blanc, and Colombard sourced from organic vineyards across Northern California. The white grapes undergo extended skin maceration in neutral tanks, allowing native yeasts to drive fermentation while extracting soft tannins and deep amber pigments. Aged on fine lees without fining or filtration, the wine bypasses heavy additives to keep its natural energy and raw texture intact. It stands as a vivid, low-intervention snapshot of California skin-contact winemaking.

Pouring an amber-apricot shade, it opens with high-toned aromas of candied orange peel, dried jasmine, and fresh ginger root. On the palate, a juicy core of bruised peach and dried mango balances a snappy, citrus-led acidity. The skin maceration imparts a gentle, tea-like tannin that wraps cleanly around the medium-bodied mouthfeel. A subtle salinity and crushed-stone undertone keep the finish brisk, dry, and thoroughly appetizing.

We are proud to lovingly tend some of the oldest vines planted and still in production in Santa Barbara County. We are committed to beyond organic farming, embracing the native ecology, integrating animals, and walking our vineyard rows daily. We believe that unmanipulated wines with energy and a sense of place only come with a deep connection to the land.

We lease and farm the Ibarra-Young Vineyard in Los Olivos District A.V.A. This vineyard was planted by Charlotte Young in 1971 and is still owned by her three daughters.

Everything on the property is own-rooted and has been farmed organically since 1993. We began leasing and farming this land at the end of 2019 and have since employed holistic, regenerative organic, and biodynamic practices to reinvigorate the soils that have been working hard for over half a century.

Our goal is to rebuild an ecosystem of native species that live alongside our vine rows, regenerate soil health, and grow the highest quality grapes this site can give. We believe the best wine grapes are grown with minimal inputs and conscious vineyard management. We reject a systematic schedule for viticulture and farming in general. We believe that by working in conjunction with nature we can increase biodiversity and soil health, minimize unnecessary sprays, minimize tractor passes and compaction, decrease water use, and reduce our carbon footprint.
