Winemaker Notes
Planted in the late 1970s these rare and gnarly looking, massive trunked, and nearly extinct vines produce unique and intriguing fruit each year. Once harvested, the whole clusters were crushed by foot and left to macerate for three days then pressed and naturally fermented in stainless steel and neutral puncheons. Once fermentation completed, the wine was racked off its heavy lees and transferred to neutral puncheons for a short élevage.
