“Pick Me”
Knowing that great wine is made in the vineyard, we ferment each vineyard block individually with its native yeasts as 100% or partial whole clusters. We gather the free-run juice, press the remainder gently, and move the segregated wine to barrel where it can evolve honestly. As we tend to the barrels, coaxing the elevage as lightly and intuitively as possible, a few barrels absolutely start to shine. The full narrative of their evolution unfolds in the most beautiful, breathtaking way. Those are the barrels that say, “Pick me.” And we do.
