VINEYARD BLOCKS
Unusual care has been taken to produce something special from
our local workhorse variety. Relatively cool vineyard sites,
old vines and careful picking and vinification are the keys
here.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Harvest date: 9 / 2 / 98 - 23 / 2 / 98 @ 24 - 24.8° balling.
PRODUCTION
The wine was 100% barrel fermented in mostly used (15 % new
American ) French oak barrels and left on the lees for 7 months
to add a creamy richness to the ripe fruit. Bottled on the
property with only a light fining and no filtration or cold
stabilization.
