Production Details Becky Wasserman & Co. states that 2021 was the last vintage. Its exact-wine profile describes partial whole-cluster use varying from 0–50%, ambient-yeast fermentation in concrete vats, one to two pump-overs per day with a few punch-downs near the end of fermentation, and 12–15 months in barrels with 15–30% new oak. These are profile ranges rather than an explicit vintage-specific technical sheet.
