Vineyard:

Sourced entirely from our Marina Ranch in the Livermore Valley, these grapes were ultra-farmed, handpicked into half-ton bins, and hand sorted in order to ensure premium quality. The juice was gently pressed into one-ton fermentation bins and the skins were punched down twice daily in order to maximize color and tannin extraction until primary fermentation was completed prior to moving into barrel.

Fermentation:

The wine finished malolactic fermentation in barrel to create a richer mouthfeel.

Aging:

This single vineyard Grenache was aged for nine months in oak barrels prior to bottling.
