Vibrant and mineral-driven, capturing the coastal influence and hands-off approach to winemaking that define Gina’s wines.
The grapes were harvested in two separate picks, then foot tread to soak on the skins overnight before being whole bunch pressed the next morning. Juice was collected into old French oak barrels and fermented with native yeast and bacteria. The wine aged on lees for 8 months, then was racked for the first time to bottle, without fining or filtration. Minimal sulfur was used at bottling.
