-
Winemaker: Peter Michael Winery's winemaking team, led by Director of Winemaking Robert Fiore
- Farming: Sustainable vineyard practices
- Variety: Predominantly Sauvignon Blanc, with a touch of Sémillon
- Terroir: Steep slopes in Knights Valley, benefiting from cool mornings and warm days, creating excellent ripeness and acidity
- Vinification: Whole-cluster pressed, naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged partially in French oak barrels
- Tasting Note: Aromas of lemon and orange blossom, jasmine, pear, and peach, with underlying notes of baking spices and lemon curd. The palate is lively with a well-integrated acidity, displaying flavors of apricot, passion fruit, and vanilla cream, leading to a long, refreshing finish with hints of mango and citrus. This wine is perfect for enjoying now but will also develop additional complexity with a few years of cellaring. Let me know if youd like more details or another wine description!
