STYLE

The aroma is classic Old World Sauvignon Blanc with wet stone, pith and citrus zest. On the palate Semillon tames the wildness of Sauvignon Blanc by contributing a bit more layered and harmonious texture.

WINEMAKING

Winemaking for this wine is intentionally simple and conservative as we want to let the terroir expressed in the wine rather than winemaking techniques. The chilled grapes are sorted, destemmed, lightly crushed and pressed and then the juice is allowed to settle overnight. VL3 yeast starts fermentation immediately. The wine fermented for about 30 days at 72F (22C) in old puncheons and barrels. The wine was aged on lees for 10 months. 84% Sauvignon Blanc and 16% Semillon. Bottled in August 2022. Alcohol is 12.7%. 1,860 bottles produced. Drink 2023 through 2025.
