The terroir ranges from decomposed granite soils to weathered shale.

The vineyards are located about 6-20km from the ocean. The

vineyards are planted on a range of aspects, from flat to northeastern

facing slopes that moderate phenolic development and

enhance fruit preservation. Rich, deep, decomposed granite soils with

good water retention and medium fertility resulted in low,

concentrated yields that contributed to the complexity and tannin

structure of the wine.

The grapes were hand-harvested, de-stemmed and individually

sorted before undergoing inoculated fermentation in stainless steel

tanks. The free-run juice was barreled down for malolactic

fermentation and maturation after 15 days in a combination of 80%

French and 20% American oak barrels (mainly second fill, some third

fill). The wine was matured in the same vessels for 14 months. Barrel

selection was done to blend the most harmonious expression of the

cool coastal region.

Food Pairing

Lamb loin and roasted root vegetables or beef stroganoff.
