This blend of Chardonnay, Malvasia Bianca and Muscat Blanc was harvested on the same day and co-fermented (to avoid blending trials) in neutral oak barrels. The native and ambient fermen-tation combined with 100% neutral oak helps showoff what this odd blend. Delta soils and soft ac-ids makes this one is your perfect lunch wine.

Each wine is produced in the same manner – spontaneous fermentation , minimal SO2 , neutral oak and ambient temperatures . “We do our best to ...
