Production Details Hand-harvested grapes were destemmed and crushed. Fermentation began an average of two days after crush, with twice-daily pump-overs; primary fermentation used native yeast without inoculation, followed by full natural malolactic fermentation. The wine aged nine months in 100% air-dried American oak barrels (10% new; 90% at least five years old). Tartaric acid and oak from barrel aging were used. Sulfur additions were 35 ppm at crush and 150 ppm cumulatively over aging; these are process additions, not a finished-wine sulfite analysis. The wine was membrane sterile filtered at bottling. The producer suggests serving it at room temperature or slightly chilled.
