Wine Profile
Production Notes
We included four Tempranillo vineyard sites in this vintage. We made the pick calls for each site separately based on the taste of the fruit. We look for a balance between ripeness, tannin, and acidity. Once at the winery, we de-stemmed the fruit 100%. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeast and given one pump-over daily during fermentation. We pressed the grapes and sent the wine to barrels after 3 weeks on the skins, allowing malolactic fermentation to occur naturally.
