Ratings & Reviews

Vineyard

Dry farmed, sustainable/non-certified organic. The small, single vineyards that comprise Prunus are located in the lower elevations of the bowl that is the Dao at 200 - 400 meters of elevation. While they collect 2200-2400 heat units each vintage, there are cooling winds that come off the mountain-sides to retain natural acids in the wine.

Vinification

The majority of the lot is destemmed, although there is always whole cluster co-fermentation with particular lots. Native fermentation in stainless steel and foot-tred lagar. 7-28 days skin soak, the wine is pressed, and placed into cement tank and neutral barrel 6 months.
