An elegant, dry style with delicate aromatics, distinct minerality and a bright acidity.

Hand harvested grapes from both vineyards were whole cluster pressed. The smaller machine harvested fraction from the (home farm) White Springs vineyard was given skin contact in tank press prior to pressing. All components were fermented at low temps. (54 - 60 F) in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. After racking, components were aged on lighter lees until May and the wine was bottled in August 2021.
