Product Info

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

2014 was the earliest vintage in the past fifteen years. This was not only due to heat, but also because of the drought. We started picking white varietals in mid-August, allowing us to protect the acidity and fragrance of these wines extremely well. Because most white varietals ripened much earlier in the season, they were able to mature burning the acidity. Therefore, we saw comparable acid levels in 2014 as 2011. This seems counter intuitive, but because of how early the grapes ripened, we shifted the entire process for the whites into a colder growing season thus permitting an amazing balance.
