2022 Vintage- Hand-harvested at night with shears only, the grapes are whole-cluster pressed while still cold from the field. The juice is barrel-fermented with indigenous yeasts, which typically takes 6 months to complete. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurs, then aged sur lies with bi-weekly bâtonnage. The wine is aged 15months in French oak barrels; 30% new, from select coopers: Leroi, Taransaud, Billon, Louis Latour. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
