“Fresh bright citrus with juicy peach and sweet subtle floral flavors will jump-start your taste buds. This is a great, refreshing wine that pairs well with many foods and stands on its own with its lively, crisp flavor.” Charlie Tsegeletos, Winemaker

Fermentation & Aging
The grapes were selectively picked and delivered to our crush bed and then went directly to the tank press. The juice was gently extracted from the grapes to maximize the fresh fruit and avoid harshness. The juice settled for 48 hours. Then the low solid juice was racked to a fermenting tank where a pure strain of wine yeast was added. Fermentation took place at 55 degrees to accentuate the bright fruit character of the wine. This wine saw no oak or malolactic fermentation to retain the fresh fruit character.

Detailed Wine Information
Acidity:.55
Alcohol:12.9%
Appellation:California
Varietal:94% Pinot Grigio, 6% Muscat Canelli
Vineyard Notes:This sunlit blend is made from two grape varieties: Pinot Grigio and Muscat Canelli. The grapes come from California’s Central Coast and Northern Interior. The Central Coast grapes were grown in rich soil, with cooling gentle breezes that enable the grape to hold the acid and cultivate a lovely citrus character. The Northern Interior grapes come from very deep, well-drained soils that also allow the fruit to retain acid.
Vintage Notes:The 2007 growing season was spectacular with Mother Nature doing more than we could’ve asked. It was much drier and cooler overall except for two very notable heat spikes in July and late August. To compensate for lower water availability, the grape vines naturally produced smaller, more tightly clustered grapes resulting in high flavor concentration and excellent quality.
Year:Non-Vintage
