Palate
Ripe dark fruit on the palate offers juicy acidity for balance.
Growing Conditions
2013 was an intense harvest. The normal 6-8 week harvest was done in 5, and in some cases we were picking all different varietals on the same day, at the same time. It was one of the earlier harvests to start and finish in a decade. Vines started their development quite early this year because of the dry weather, so, in effect there was plenty of “hang-time”.
Winemaking
Made with the most traditional hands-on methods, the grapes were hand sorted in the vineyard, fermented in small tanks and serviced by hand with love and care. Native yeast and malolactic bacteria were employed throughout.
