Nose
Guava, honeycomb, and apricot on the nose.
Palate
Mango, apples, toasted nuts, velvety creamed honey, and crème brulée on the palate.
Growing Conditions
Our estate vineyard is located in the southern end of Napa Valley known for providing excellent growing conditions for white wines. Its proximity to the San Francisco Bay provides morning fog, creating ideal growing conditions to make a fully botrytized late harvest wine.
Winemaking
These grapes are left on the vine until 30 Brix. At this time, naturally occurring botrytis sets in the grape clusters, also known as Noble Rot in classic Sauternes production. The Botrytis produces luscious honey notes and mouthfeel which perfectly complements the grapefruit and delicate floral aromas of Pinot Grigio.
Aging
100% Stainless Steel
Food Pairing
Hard cheeses, strawberries and other fruit, blue cheese and honey.
