High-toned fruit and delicate mouthfeel. Light-bodied, dry and refreshing white wine. Aromas of citrus fruits, roasted almonds, stone fruit and orange peel with flavors of green apple, melon, white peach, lemon and grapefruit with a mineral edge on the finish.

Grapes were whole cluster pressed and settled overnight. Fermentation was entirely native in neutral oak barrels. The wine was allowed to finish native malolactic fermentation so that the wine could be bottled unfined and unfiltered. Minimum effective SO2 used prior to bottling.

Grapes come from the deep clay loam soils of the Lost Slough Vineyard. Located in the southern-most part of the Clarksburg AVA near the historic Chinese settlement town of Locke, this site stays cool at night during the summer allowing for grapes to retain good acidity. All vineyard sources were farmed organically.
