-
WINEMAKER: Megan Glaab
-
FARMING: Sustainable
-
VARIETY: 100% Vermentino
-
TERROIR: Carneros is known for its cool, foggy mornings and afternoon breezes from the San Pablo Bay, providing an ideal climate for white varieties like Vermentino. The region’s clay-rich soils and cool temperatures contribute to the wine’s bright acidity and fresh, mineral-driven character.
-
VINIFICATION: The grapes are harvested early to preserve their natural acidity, then gently pressed to avoid extracting harsh phenolics. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel to maintain the wine’s fresh, crisp profile, with a small portion of the wine undergoing partial malolactic fermentation for added texture.
-
AGING: The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for several months, with occasional battonage (stirring of the lees) to enhance mouthfeel and complexity.
-
TASTING NOTES: This Vermentino opens with vibrant aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and a touch of thyme. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing with flavors of lemon, green melon, and a mineral backbone that gives it a clean, saline finish. The lively acidity and light body make it a perfect summer wine.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Pair with grilled shrimp, fresh oysters, or a citrusy arugula salad.
