Winemaker’s Notes
In 2021, the vintage was slow and steady, which allowed the fruit to gradually ripen, holding its acid and allowing it to develop complexity on the vine. The majority of the fruit for this bottling was picked in mid-September, delivering generous yet balanced yields. This wine is delicately crafted from select barrels and is well-balanced. Pair this wine with duck, pork, Parisian Sunday Chicken with mushroom sauce, and french fries.
