Winemaker Notes
A long warm growing season produced deeply ripe fruit. Handled gently to preserve the delicate aromatics, grapes were de-stemmed and given 18 hour skin contact before draining off skins and cold settling. A portion (70%) was barrel fermented in 1st (27%), 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels, while the balance as allowed a long slow fermentation in stainless steel. After 6 months in oak with frequent lees stirring, creating a rich silky palate, the wine was racked and blended.
