11.7 acres of vines total. 50+ year old vines on terraced slopes composed of unique calcareous limestone, clay, and schist mix called Petra Bianca. Manual harvest. Average 35 ha/hl yields. Patrimonio’s hillsides rarely require treatments of any kind, so Eric’s practices are essentially organic (though without certification).
The grapes are picked by hand and then undergo direct pressing followed by settling at a low temperature (9°C). The juices are then vinified in stainless steel vats at 15 and 17 °C.
