This wine is full of energy and precision. Think lemon cake, caramel apple with chalky minerality.
The juice is fermented with native yeast and bacteria in 228L and 500L barrels, then aged on lees for 17 months, and racking to bottle, without fining or filtration, with minimal sulfur used.
This wine is made from 21 year old vines at the Bassi Vineyard, farmed organically and located on the coastal hillsides of Avila Valley. This bottling is a unique snapshot of a true coastal vineyard in California, located 1.2 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
