This wine hails from two acres of old vines (c. 1910) that we have been slowly and painstakingly nursing back to health. As in 1998, miniscule yields were once again the rule here. Nevertheless, each variety was picked separately (yes, we actually were fermenting small bucket-sized amounts) and fermented indigenously. After the malolactic fermentation the following spring, the final blend was assembled. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
