Vinification
Harvested while flavors are in the early phase of development, retaining natural acidity and keeping the flavors on the citrus/pomme fruit side of the spectrum. Whole-cluster pressed, settled for a few hours, and then racked directly to barrels (French Oak barrels). The wine was fermented at cool temperatures at first then gradually raised to a peak of 71 F and allowed to fully complete malolactic conversion. We keep it in the barrels on all of its lees, with no stirring, for 16 months allowing the mouthfeel of the wine to develop over time. Fined with pea protein focusing the wine in a laser sharp direction.
