2008 Pinot Blanc

Grapes were hand-picked and brought directly to the winery in half-ton totes. They were then sorted by hand and whole cluster pressed. The lightly pressed juice was then cold fermented at 45°F for maximum varietal character. The wine was then aged in French oak (10% new) on its lees for eighteen months before bottling.
