Growing Conditions
The Etesian wind tempers the warm days of summer in the Mediterranean. Similarly, in California the moderating influence of the Pacific Ocean cools the vineyards of Sonoma, promoting superb natural balance and well-developed flavours in our grapes.
Harvest
The grapes were hand-harvested into small picking bins as not to be crushed.
Winemaking
They were whole-cluster pressed and fermented in 100% stainless steel at 55-60 degrees F to retain freshness.
Food Pairing
Pair with lamb chops, ribs, grilled salmon and barbecued chicken.
