VINEYARD Savage Block, Harry’s Upper & Lower GRAPE VARIETIES 61% Roussanne, 28% Chardonnay, & 11% Viognier ABV 12.3% Aromas of honeycrisp apple, pineapple, and overripe mango awaken the senses. Flavors of lychee, fresh apricot, honeycomb, and a zip of key lime dance across the palate. A nutty dryness lingers on the finish. WINEGROWING Grown with a focus on sustainability. These grapes are farmed on alluvial soils mixed with larger volcanic strata. A properly managed, umbrella like canopy allows for just the right air flow and dappled sunlight on to the clusters to achieve maximum quality. The soils of the vineyard site enhances the expression of character for each variety and lends to the uniqueness of the wine. WINEMAKING A rare twist on a classic Rhone blend with the addition of Chardonnay. Chardonnay was pressed whole cluster into stainless steel and the malo-lactic fermentation was blocked. Viognier was picked early to add fruitiness and acidity. 58% of the Roussanne was fermented in stainless steel. 3% of the Roussanne was barrel fermented and aged in neutral french oak. Minimal sulfites added at bottling. FOOD PAIRING Shellfish, Chicken, Veal, Pork and Vegetables, Mild Cheddar, Smoked Gouda, Manchego, Camembert
