Winemaking Notes: Each varital was vinified separately. The Chardonnay saw a short 5 day maceration. The Grenache Blanc was destemmed and also went through a 5 day maceration. Both the Tocai Friulano and the Muscat were destemmed and went through separate 10 day macerations. The Picpoul, Sauvignon Blanc, and Colombard were all direct press. The Vermentino was Reversee method and the Ribolla Gialla was destemmed and went through a 14 day maceration.

All the wines were racked off the gross lees in early winter and the wine was blended in the spring for bottling in April.

Tasting Notes: All the different varieties give this wine layer upon layer of flavor while also being super fresh and drinkable. Notes of dried apricot, citrus rind, honey suckle, and quince with a touch of floral, from the Orange Muscat. The direct-press components accentuate the juicy mouthfeel, creating a noticeable tannic structure, and provide a fresh finish.
