Vineyard Notes
2021 was a beautiful vintage. The winter was quite dry with far lower than average rainfalls but we had a few spring rains that helped us out. The growing season was warm but very even and without any adverse weather events. We picked slighlty earlier than average but because of the very small crop this vintage, flavors are intense and concentrated.
Production Notes
70% Chardonnay, 20% Syrah, 10% Grenache
Winemaker Notes
All three of these varietals were picked and vinified separately. Each was hand picked and whole cluster pressed to a stainless steel tank. After fermentation, the varietals were blended together and then tirage bottled, which means bottled with a small amount of yeast and a small amount of sugar to induce a second fermentation in the bottle. After 19 months on lees in bottle, we disgorged and added a small dosage of 4 g/L.
