- WINEMAKER: Corinne Rich & Katie Rouse
- FARMING: Sustainably farmed
- VARIETY: 100% Arneis
- TERROIR: Sourced from Spirit Canyon Vineyard, located on the banks of the Russian River in Mendocino County. The vineyard was planted in 1994 and features clay loam soils, contributing to the wine's unique character.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes were direct-pressed to stainless steel tanks for fermentation with native yeasts. Post-fermentation, the wine was transferred to neutral puncheons and barriques for four months of aging.
- AGING: Aged for four months in neutral oak barrels to enhance texture without imparting overt oak flavors.
- TASTING NOTES: While specific tasting notes for the 2023 vintage are not yet available, previous vintages of Birdhorse Arneis have been described as vibrant and balanced, showcasing the varietal's characteristic floral and stone fruit aromas, complemented by bright acidity.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with shellfish, vegetarian dishes, poultry, pasta, rich fish (salmon, tuna), and lean fish.
