Winemaking

For more complex aromatics and flavors we performed both open- and closed-top fermentations, depending on the character of the lots, using native and cultured yeast. The wine was aged for nine months in French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes

The cool climate and marine-based soils are ideal for this finicky variety. Our 2013 bottling displays a dark garnet color and delivers aromas of rose petal, raspberry, cherry, rhubarb, hints of campfire and subtle forest floor. The palate is soft and bright, framed with nice acidity alongside a moderate weight and density. Clean and focused flavors of tart cherry and sweet strawberry, accented by minerality. The depth and structure of this wine are a reflection of great terroir and intensive farming methods.
