Production Notes 2nd Bottling
Winemaker Notes Each block was hand harvested individually and brought to the winery where the clusters were sorted again before being destemmed. 50% of the grape clusters were crushed and 50% were left as whole berries during fermentation. The must was then allowed 2-4 days to cold soak, followed by a warm fermentation using a variety of different yeast strains. With two pump-overs a day, the wine was pressed off the skins once it was dry. Wine was then sent to barrel to undergo malolactic fermentation. After fermenation was complete, wine was racked one more time and then allowed to rest in barrel.

Food Pairing Notes

Pair with a tender beef tenderloin served with a rich Cabernet and roasted shallot sauce, accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes. The sweet, caramelized shallots elevate this dish and complement the wine’s elegance and depth.
