Winemaker’s Notes
A distinctive wine with aromas offering notes of pink grapefruit, green apple, lemon grass, and kiwi with an undercurrent of spice. Flavors of citrus including lemon and Key lime, white peach, and flinty character are focused and encouraged with creamy, toasted oak nuance. A unique white wine with freshness, depth and length.
Winemaking
After achieving the desired flavors on the vine, the Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc were harvested in the cool morning hours in an effort to preserve the delicate flavors. In the cellar, grapes were pressed to tank and immediately chilled and settled. Thirty five percent of the fermentation was completed in stainless steel tank and fifty five percent in barrel at cool temperatures to maintain and enhance the natural flavors. Ten percent was fermented in concrete adding a touch of minerality. The final blend was completed after 5 months of maturation on yeast lees.
