When picked just a bit less ripe than many CA Viogniers, the fruit expresses lively citrus and gentle white flower aromatics, while barrel fermentation in mostly older French oak barrels leads to a wine of perfect structure and creamy-crispy balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful nose of white flowers (jasmine, gardenia and honeysuckle) mingled with pretty green tea, grapefruit and orange zest aromas, only a light kiss of creamy vanilla oak toast. Super crisp acidity without being puckery tart, just pinpoint balanced with trace of sweetness and creaminess from oak. Juicy, mouth-watering Honey-crisp apple and citrus, green peach fruit. Great structure to pair with lemon-butter shrimp or Thai food or even to drink solo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest Date:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAugust 28 (Calera clone) \u0026amp; September 2 (Entav), 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAverage TA\/pH at Harvest:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal Acid \/3.50 pH at harvest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation Characteristics:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDestemmed to press and cold settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCellar Storage\/Aging:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% barrel fermented, stirred weekly sur lie for 5 mo.
