WINEMAKER NOTES: The near-perfect conditions of the 2023 vintage resulted in wines with excellent acid balance and exquisite flavors and aromas. To retain the delightful aromatics and keep the wine crisp and fresh, we carefully fermented and aged the wine in stainless steel tanks. As a final touch, we left pleasantly perceptible CO2 from the primary fermentation for a nice, slight spritz upon opening, reminiscent of the refreshing wines produced in the Vinho Verde region of Portugal.
