Varietal: 100% Gamay

Vintage: 2023

Vineyard: Highlands Ranch

Barrel Program: 100% Neutral French Oak

Cases Produced: 150

Winemaking: Upon harvest, the grapes entered the winery at 24.5 Brix and 3.2pH. They were gently placed into the tank as whole clusters to allow carbonic fermentation (in the absence of oxygen). Native yeasts completed the fermentation in just 10 days. The Gamay was then pressed into 100% Neutral Oak barrels, where it aged for 7 months before being bottled in May of the following year.

Finished wine: 13.7% alc

Brix at Harvest: 24.5

Finished ph: 3.7

Notes: This wine showcases exotic spices like coriander, complemented by hints of candied orange rind. It is lush and smooth on the palate, yet maintains a crisp acidity at its core, keeping it fresh and invigorating. Enjoy this bottle on a warm day, paired with food, for a delicate yet flavorful experience.
