- Description
“Planted in the 1950s. About 1/3 of the parcel has an extremely steep slope (50% grade) requiring plowing by horse. Soils are crumbly pink granite; these vines consistently produce smaller grapes. About 15% whole cluster, indigenous yeast alcoholic fermentation in concrete tank, gentle extraction. One year aging in older 228 and 350-liter barrels.” -Becky Wasserman
