Grapes are hand-picked and placed in small baskets, which are then directly transferred to a temperature-controlled truck at the edge of the vineyard. Whole berries rest in a temperature-controlled room at 38º F for three weeks, where a slow maceration process begins inside each berry. Then, using only gravity, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed and the juice undergoes a brief fermentation in stainless steel tanks. When the desired sugar level is reached, fermentation is halted by adding neutral alcohol distilled from the pomace of the previous vintage. The wine is bottled immediately to capture its rich, elegant structure Color: Vibrant gold Bouquet: Aromatic and complex, recalling orange rind, fresh figs and apricot Taste: Rich and velvety, with flavors of orange rind, lychee, peach and spice leading into a pleasantly bitter finish |
