KouKou is 100% Cabernet Franc sourced from Santa Ynez Vineyard in the Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara AVA. The vineyard sits on serpentine soils composed of loam and clay loam with varying amounts of chert, which are low in nutrients and high in minerals. Warm days and significant diurnal temperature swings at night preserve natural acidity and keep the grapes fresh. The vineyard is farmed organically, though not certified.
Broc Cellars first made this wine in 2010, using whole-cluster fermentation to draw out the brighter, fresher side of Cabernet Franc rather than its heavier, extracted character. For the 2021, grapes were placed whole-cluster into concrete tanks, foot stomped in the morning, and pumped over in the evening. After pressing, the wine returned to concrete and aged for 10 months. No yeasts, nutrients, enzymes, or tannins were added. Sulfur was not used during fermentation or aging; only a minimal amount, if any, was added at bottling.
The result is a light-bodied, low-tannin red built for a slight chill. At 12% ABV, it leans on strawberry, fresh red plum, and green pepper rather than dark fruit or oak. It drinks more like a well-structured Beaujolais than a conventional California red, and works well slightly below room temperature.
