Ratings & Reviews

Vinification

Grapes are pressed in a traditional manually operated vertical wine press and a computer controlled wine press. Selected yeast is used to start the 10-12 day fermetnation - mostly 18-2007 for its regularity, efficiency and ability to finish the alcoholic fermentation; also, has close to no influence on the aromatic style of the wine. The wine is unfined. 45% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier -- reserve wines account for 45% of the blend.

Aging

Aging on the lees takes place for a minimum of 4 years in the cellar before release.
