Production Details Tempranillo has become an absolute revelation for Stony Brook. As we learn more about this scarce grape each year, the wine seems to become more and more refined. Harvested in early February, each bunch was meticulously hand-picked, hand-sorted and destemmed before a 6 day pre-ferment cold soak. The wine was taken to 65% new oak barrels for MLF and maturation for 26 months before bottling.
