Nose
This barrel aged wine is lightly oaked with notes of peach and citrus.
Palate
It has both a buttery taste and a crisp finish.
Growing Conditions
Our white wines were all planted at the top of the hill with a slight northern exposure which helps cool the grapes during the hottest months of the summer. The cooler microclimate of the northern exposure allows the grapes to “hang” longer but maintains a higher acidity at harvest which ensures a crisp finish to the wines.
Harvest
Grapes are hand harvested very early in the morning during the coolest temperatures of the day and immediately transferred to the winery.
Winemaking
The fermentation is kept slow and cool to ensure that the aromatics are retained. All of the whites spend the winter clearing and are bottled in the spring and are usually released without additional aging for your enjoyment.
