Winemaking Notes
Two unique vineyard parcels gently destemmed and pressed to stainless steel tanks. The third parcel, grapes were destemmed
directly to tank and fermented on full solids (skins) with gently hand plunging. Fermented cool with selected aromatic yeast
strains to retain varietal intensity and character. Post ferment wines are lightly racked to retain silky lees and allow yeast
autolysis for five months prior to careful blending
