88% Pinot Gris, 12% Chardonnay
Winemaker's Notes
Light golden in color. The elegant aromas of white peach, ripe citrus and minerality fill the glass. The mouth-feel is well balanced between ripe fruit notes and wonderful acidity, and is interlaced with fine yeast notes that add richness and interest. The long finish leaves a fine flintiness, a fantastic lush fruit sensation and viscosity. ~Roman Roth, Winemaker/Technical Director
Technical Data
2008 was a great year in the vineyard, producing wonderful ripe fruit. It was not a hot year, but perfect for balance and finesse. The grapes were hand picked on September 24. The yield was good and healthy at 3.3 tons per acre. Leaf removal in the fruit zone during the growing season insured that every cluster was exposed to the sun and ripened very well. The grapes were handled gently and pressed; the juice was chilled down to 53° and well settled, followed by a cool fermentation (64°) in stainless steel for 16 days. At dryness the young wine was racked and aged on the fine lees for 2 months. Malolactic fermentation was completely avoided to keep the vibrancy and fruit forwardness. The wine was bottled at the end of March 2009 with 430 cases being produced.
