Nose
Aromas of Meyer lemon, mandarin oranges, and wet stone, with a subtle underlying sweetness of vanilla bean.
Palate
Round and textured with flavors of candied citrus peel and a hint of pineapple, with a racy acidity that brings out the wine’s zingy minerality.
Growing Conditions
All fruit is organically grown.
Harvest
The grapes were harvested the end of August and early September 2014.
Winemaking
The grapes were whole-cluster pressed, and the juice was fermented in a stainless steel tank at 45 degrees F for two weeks, then sent to barrel and aged sur-lie for five months with monthly lees stirring. 20% new French oak barrels help frame the wine’s prominent floral and citrus notes, while adding to its structure and age ability.
Aging
5 months in French oak, 20% new / 80% 1 to 2 year old Ailler from Treuil.
