Winemaking Notes
The grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed. After overnight settling, the juice was racked to barrels to undergo 100% native yeast barrel fermentation, followed by malo-lactic fermentation. The wine was aged in 90% new French oak barrels for 10 months and the lees were stirred weekly to bring more complexity. Our wines are never fined or sterile filtered.
Tasting Notes
“This wine has a nice green-yellow color. Its juicy mouthwatering flavors boast layers of tropical fruits and peach nectar accented with apricot croissants. The finish is rich, long and lingering with each layer unfolding beautifully.” – Erin Green, Winemaker
