Alcohol: 11%

A fresh white wine inspired by those of the same variety from the Eastern Loire Valley. Fresh nose of sea breeze, green apple, Asian pear and lemon zest with mouthwatering acidity with oyster shell minerality on the palate.

The grapes were whole cluster pressed to a combination of concreate eggs and stainless steel where they underwent spontaneous fermentation and eventual sur lie élevage.

Fruit comes from an 1800 ft elevation site planted in 1985 on south facing decomposed granite and limestone soils of the Chalone appellation. The vineyard is located on the east side of Salinas Valley overlooking Monterey.
