WINEMAKING
Hand-harvested in the cool early morning hours, the fruit is immediately subjected to rigorous selection by our three-tiered sorting process. This includes our cutting edge optical sorter to eliminate less-than-perfect berries, cold soaks lasting approximately five days and fermentations managed by pump-overs.This amazing vineyard lies on the eastern side of Napa, just south of the famed Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars SLV Vineyard. The climate at this foothill vineyard is heavily influenced by the nearby San Francisco Bay and results in cool night temperatures that moderate the warm Napa Valley days. The soils are alluvial loam.
