NOTES

VINEYARDS: Planted to a California heirloom clone “Old Wente”. The soil is a combination of volcanic rock, sand, and loam.

VINIFICATION: The grapes were whole–cluster pressed to tank and cold-settled overnight, then racked off heavy solids to barrel.The juice was fermented with indigenous yeast to dryness. Malolactic fermentation was long and cool, also using indigenous flora. One hundred percent barrel-fermented in neutral 128 liter French oak barrels.
