Tasting note
Fragrant aromas of yellow peach and ripe melon are found on the nose, interspersed with bright citrus notes. These continue on the palate with notes of creamy vanilla and buttery nuances on the long finish. Rombauer’s signature bright acidity.
Vineyard
The fruit for this wine comes from estate vineyards in the Carneros region and select growers including the Sangiacomo family, long-term grower partners who have farmed this land for three generations
Viticulture
Good winter rain and moderate spring, ending with warm spells in September that brought us good yields. Optimal fruit ripeness while still preserving the signature acid and body. Sustainable farming practices used throughout the growing season were tailored to each block with the assistance of aerial photos produced using NDVI
Vinification
The grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed while the fruit was still cool. The juice was pumped to tank to cold-settle overnight before it was racked to barrel for primary and malolactic fermentations. The lees were stirred every 7-10 days to give the wine rich flavours and a creamy texture.
Food Match
Our favourite pairings for this wine include crab cakes, barley risotto, and strawberry shortcake.
