The vineyard’s distinctive topography consists of dramatic changes in altitude and soils laden with gravel, diatomaceous earth and fossils of ancient sea creatures. All grapes are hand harvested and hand sorted before fermented in small lots and aged in 50% new French oak barrels and 50% neutral French oak barrels for 540 days before bottled.
