Volcanic
60 acre vineyard with three different parcels. 2400'-2700' elevation. Average age of vines is 30 years. Volcanic soil.
Grapes are 100% hand harvested early in the morning. All fruit is hand sorted to remove leaves or any sub-standard fruit. Fruit is destemmed with 30% whole berry. Immediately pressed at low pressures to avoid any astringency. Wild yeast are used to ferment this wine over a long period at low temperatures. No malolactic fermentation takes place.
The wine is aged on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks for one year prior bottling, then 3 months in bottle prior to relase.
