With normal yields of approximately 3.25 tons to the acre, Papera seemed oblivious to the lack of water in this drought year.  Picked in three passes between October 1st and October 6th, we opted to bleed off 7 to 12% of the juice from each tank to produce a more concentrated wine.  Also, since tank space was at a premium, it helped prevent the tanks we filled from overflowing during fermentation, something that is never fun to clean up!  Aged in all French oak, 21% new, and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
