Delicate flavors and aromas of lemon grass, grapefruit, crisp green apple and orange blossom are delivered with a lively, refreshing acidity and texture. Notes of wet stone and minerality add an intriguing complexity. Vinification notes: Fruit was carefully handpicked in the cool of the morning, then gently whole cluster pressed. Juice was then split to about 60% stainless steel and 40% barrel fermentation. The stainless steel portion was slowly fermented, cold, with specialized yeast strains to exemplify the fruit and express more aromatics. The barrel fermented portion was split between used French oak and new Acacia to add texture and subtle spice to the blend. After a period of extended lies aging with bottonage, the wines were blended and allowed to merry prior to bottling under screwcap to lock in the delicate flavors and freshness of the wine.
