This wine exibits refreshing cool-climate varietal expression. Zesty citrus, passionfruit, and gooseberry intertwine with fresh white flowers to make for a very expressive nose, while the palate is held together with a core of bright acidity and a long-lasting finish.

Grapes were hand-harvested and sent directly to the press. Juice was cold settled overnight then racked to neutral oak barrels where it carries out a native fermentation. After fermentation, the barrels were topped up and aged on the lees until bottling. Minimal sulfur was added for stability before bottling without fining or filtration.

Presqu’ile is located on the southwestern end of the Santa Maria Valley AVA and is a very cold location with a strong influence from the ocean. The vineyard is planted on ancient sand dunes.
