- WINEMAKER: Michael Cruse
- FARMING: Sustainable
- VARIETY: 100% Valdiguié
- TERROIR: Rancho Chimiles Vineyard is situated in the southeastern Napa Valley, where cooler temperatures and well-drained, rocky soils create ideal growing conditions for Valdiguié.
- VINIFICATION: The wine is made using the traditional method (méthode traditionnelle), with primary fermentation in stainless steel followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle.
- AGING: Aged on lees for 12+ months to develop complexity and finesse.
- TASTING NOTES: Bright and zippy with notes of fresh red berries, cranberry, and wildflowers, complemented by a subtle toasty character from the lees aging. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a delicate mousse and a clean, mineral-driven finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pair with charcuterie, goat cheese tartlets, or lightly spiced dishes like seared tuna with sesame and ginger.
