Aromatic notes of apricot blossom, honeycrisp apple, white pepper and jasmine with a crisp tannic structure and a saline, citrus-focused finish that’s both energetic and refined.

Each variety was 100% whole berry destemmed and fermented for approximately 1 month on skins, the entirety of primary fermentation, then pressed at dryness. This wine incorporated two Novum amphora vessels, one for our skin- fermented Kerner and the other a co-ferment of Friulano & Ribolla Gialla. The grapes were fermented in these vessels, pressed and then the wine returned to them for aging. Aged for 11 months, then blended and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
