Food pairing
Dungeness crab or pan-saut̩ed petrale sole, or any fish and shellfish are ideal with this wine. Cheese like manchego is another fantastic option.
Production
The fruit is a mix of hand and machine picked, which is gently pressed followed by twenty-four hours of settling before being racked to barrel for fermentation. Fifteen percent of the lot was co-inoculated with the house strain of malolactic bacteria. The barrels were then used to top the remainder of the lot during post primary fermentation and the lees were stirred monthly.
