Winemaker's Notes
"Our 2021 Chenin Blanc fruit was night-harvested from the cool Clarksburg AVA on the Sacramento River. We lightly whole cluster pressed the fruit to a stainless steel tank where we let the juice chill at 50°F for two days to settle. On the third day, we cleaned and racked it to a smaller tank leaving the heavy sediment behind. Three days later, fermentation starts naturally and keeps below 56°F until half the sugar was consumed. At 18 brix we transferred the young wine to barrels where it spent the remaining time on lees until just before bottling." -Jesse Katz
