Palate
This year, the flavors are as focused as ever with lemon curd, flint, chalk, clove and light vanilla notes on a linear frame, which fans out across the palate in waves of rich, intense fruit.
Growing Conditions
These 1980's Old Wente plantings near Occidental keep giving us amazing fruit!
Winemaking
We treat this very traditionally, with barrel fermentation and natural malolactic, and never filter it. It settles beautifully, never gets buttery and remains centered on citrus and minerality.
