Epecially selected for fruit intensity and aromatics, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel and concrete egg to capture the purity of the flavors.

The European-style high density of over 2,000 vines per acre provides low yields and requires intensive labor; but the vines live longer and the grapes acquire better balance and greater concentration, as well as more elegance and finesse than with the traditional low density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Vinification\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e100% See clone. The grapes were harvested September 5, gently whole-cluster pressed and cold fermented in an egg vessel, tanks and barrels, all of stainless steel, at 55 degrees F. After completing the primary fermentation, the wine was kept in stainless steel until bottled in March 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe intense nose shows floral aromas reminiscent of white flowers like lilies and star jasmine, with the classic apple flavors that follow through on the palate.
