Three unique vineyard parcels picked and gently pressed to 500L French oak puncheons. Fermented cool with selected aromatic yeast strains to retain varietal intensity and character. Extended yeast lees stirring in oak for 11 months to add palate weight and complexity. Springtime malolactic fermentation was undertaken prior to blending.
