VINTAGE NOTES
The 2024 grape growing season in California’s Santa Cruz Mountains was marked by favorable conditions, leading to a harvest of exceptional quality. Unlike the previous year, which experienced an extended growing season into November, the 2024 season adhered to a more typical timeline, with most vineyards completing harvest by early October.
WINEMAKING NOTES
Grape clusters were hand picked, destemmed, sorted, and gently pressed in our 1 ton basket press. The juice was chilled and left to settle for 24 hours. Following settling the juice was racked clean and fermented in neutral oak. The wine rested in neutral oak barrels for five months aging before being gently fined and filtered prior to bottling.
TASTING NOTES
Dynamic and vibrant aromas of white peach, and nectarine jump out of the glass underscored by hints of citrus and lemon zest. The palate, tightly focused and lively, features notes of crisp asian pear, honeydew and ripe grapefruit. Its signature acidity and mineral driven texture is mouthwatering and very memorable.
CELLARING
Not intended for aging. Drink now.
