Vineyard Notes: Miravet Vineyard is farmed organically by Marcus & Liz Bokisch, who have in the past supplied us with Albarino from their Terra Alta Vineyard. Miravet is farther north & east, in the Lodi sub-AVA of Clements Hills. It sits on a hill of rocky volcanic soil & is planted to Grenache blanc, Mourvedre, Tempranillo & the 3 Spanish Cava varieties: Macabeu, Xarel-lo & Parellada.

Cellar Notes: Our first time working with this fruit, so we wanted to make a baseline version, in just stainless steel. Grapes were destemmed & pressed to tank.  After an 11-day fermentation, the wine was racked off the lees into 4 neutral barrels & stainless kegs, where it aged for 4 months before being lightly filtered & fined.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of stone fruit - particularly apricot - butterscotch & crystalized ginger lead to a rich pineapple & citrus rind quality in the palate.
