VINEYARDS
California White grapes can tolerate warm weather better than other white wine varietals. California White vineyards tend to be planted inland, often in sheltered valleys. These grapes also benefit from a long season, during which they can leisurely collect natural character and flavours on the vine. The warm California days during the growing season provide plenty of hang-time for California White. The resulting wine from these vineyards is fruit driven, rich, robust and immediately enjoyable by itself or as a compliment to good food.
HARVEST
Ripening was slightly delayed due to the late onset of spring. The warm growing conditions allowed an even ripening progression. The cool early spring allowed the fruit to develop complex flavours and aromas. Ideal grape canopy management practices were applied to allow adequate sunlight to enter the fruiting zone, resulting in exceptional fruit growth that carries over well into this amazing wine.
WINEMAKING
The winemaker selected specific yeasts to enhance the flavours and freshness of this wine. The cool storage in tank preserved the fresh aromatics and flavours. The precise fermentation management allowed the full varietal expression of the fruit.
