Bud break arrived early this year, beginning around Valentines Day, and it was a much cooler and foggy season through August. We had no excessive heat in July, August or September, which provided for a longer hang time for the grapes. The grapes ripened uniformly and calmly at their own pace and yields were a tad higher and the flavors are phenomenal.
Aroma: Honeysuckle, orange blossom, lime and golden peach.
Palate: Flesh fruit flavors of lemon-citrus, white blossom and stone fruit.
Conclusion: Partial barrel fermentation and lees stirring create complex layers that impart hints of oak and wrap the flavors in a rich, generously textured mouthfeel and elegant finish. 2500 cases produced.
Recommended Serving Temperature: 10-13°c
