Wine maker notes
The grapes are manually harvested in early September. A brief maceration then takes place for one day followed by one week of fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 72F - 77F with yeasts selected by the winemakers for varietal and regional expression. A system of rack and return and traditional pumping over provides gentle extraction of deep color and fine tannins while retaining fruit characters. Post fermentation maceration is determined by the winemakers in order to accentuate the development of soft tannins and a greater degree of complexity in the wine. 30% of the wine is then aged in barriques for six months. The wine is then bottled in April and aged in bottle for three months.
