A wine that should age forever

Most of the Chardonnay clones were planted in 1987 with the addition of some Pinot blanc more recently in an attempt to more truly emulate a classic Burgundian white vineyard

The Riesling was harvested two weeks later and was foot-trodden before pressing and used to top the fermenting barrels of Auxerrois/Gewürztraminer - in a mix of French and Oregon oak

The shape softens the experience of acidity to bring forward the supple and sweet fruit of red wines

delicious finish
