Winemakers Notes

• 2016 was yet another early growing year but differed from the last few seasons by experiencing a wet winter. Once spring arrived, steady warmth remained throughout summer. Fruit with excellent concentration and balance were representative of this high-quality vintage.

• Adding small amounts of Chardonnay to the blend creates more texture, weight, and flavor complexity. The central coast Chardonnay found in this year’s blend contributes nuances of tropical fruits and minerals, which harmonize beautifully with the fresh, juicy character of Pinot Grigio.

• To preserve the wine’s fresh fruit impressions and varietal fragrance, we press and ferment cool and finish in stainless steel rather than wood. This technique accentuates the wine’s crisp citrusy character and floral notes.
