Tasting note
AROMAS: Bright apple, citrus, honeysuckle, white flowers, and well-integrated oak. FLAVORS: Bright, juicy orchard fruit with baking spice, clove, and vanilla. BODY: Creamy with a well-balanced acidity, medium body, and freshness.
Unique Selling Point
Fermented and aged in French oak barrels; lees stirring throughout life of wine up to bottling; partial malolactic fermentation to preserve acidity and freshness managed lot by lot prior to final blending.
Viticulture
Napa Valley sourced fruit from estate vineyard and long-time contract growers; utilising sustainable vineyard management practices.
Vinification
The fruit was harvested by hand from August 29 through October 10. Lots underwent primary fermentation in the barrel, were inoculated and tacked through malolactic fermentation, and then stopped when they reached the ideal balance of richness and acidity. The wine aged sur lie for 8 months in French oak (27% new) to add texture and a gentle toastiness.
Food Match
Lighter fare – fruity and refreshing, pair with milder cheeses, fish, chicken, pasta dishes, or enjoy as a standalone glass of wine.
