Ratings & Reviews

Vineyard

Clay/limestone soils. Vines average 20+ years in age, with the youngest plantings 4 years-old and the oldest parcels at 60+ years in age.

Vinification

Fermented with native yeasts. 90% fermented in stainless steel tanks, 10% fermented and matured in used French oak barrels. Full malolactic conversion.

Aging

Matured about 6 months on the fine lees. Both the stainless and barrel fermented wine are then blended for a richer, creamier texture without any perceptible oaky character.
