Production Details Made from vineyards planted in 2016 and 1993. The younger vineyards add a jolt of freshness and the older vines add depth and concentration, building complexity with terroir, rather than tools. Precooled fruit is destemmed and crushed before being lightly pressed. The free-run juice is settled overnight. Fermentation occurred in stainless-steel tanks. The wine is aged for 8 months on the lees. 5 percent of barrel-aged Chenin Blanc is added before bottling for added complexity.
