| Making Techniques | Each clone is planted in different lots of our coastal climate vineyards located in the San Antonio Valley. Each plot was hand harvested, in search of optimal grape maturity. Some grapes were whole-cluster pressed and others were destemmed and underwent a cold soak for 5 hours, looking for the best aromatic expression, freshness and great volume on the palate. The fermentation was conducted in stainless steel tanks of different volumes at low temperatures for 30 days, and then stirred for 3 months to enhance the aromatic complexity, texture and mouthfeel of the wine. |
