Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
100% ESTATE GROWN FRUIT
Harvest takes place only after having achieved the full maturation, when the grapes are at optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures with selected yeast, and then aged in new American oak barrels for fourteen months. To maximize the grapes’ expression, the wine is softly filtered before bottling. Once it is bottled, it remains in temperature controlled conditions for another six months prior to release.
Serving Hints
Best served at 59 to 61 F° temperature. This wine is a great accompaniment to red meats and game, especially smoked brisket or duck, as well as spicy pasta dishes and mature cheeses.
