Hand sorted before and after destemming. Fermentation in stainless steel for 15-20 days. Lees contact in tank. 1/2 the blend undergoes malolactic in French barrels. Viognier aged 6 months and Chard 7 months in same. Sauvignon Gris in steel tank. Annual production 3,000 cases.
Very interesting blend. I personally was quite perplexed and liked it. I has nice combination of Sauvignon tones with fruitiness of Viognier and body of Chardonnay.
