Description
Fruit was rigorously hand sorted & gently whole cluster pressed. The juice was settled & either put straight to barrel or left in tank. Fermentation temperatures were about 70˚F followed by lees stirring for 4 months in barrel. Mostly native yeast & malolactic fermentations with only a few lots fermented using cultured Burgundy isolates. Aged in 100% French oak for 11 months. Brilliant straw color. Lemon and citrus aromas lined with floral notes and hints of brioche and toast. Bright and crisp with perfectly balanced acidity and minerality, followed by an elegant refreshing finish.
