New Release!
Vineyard Notes: Located off of Fiddletown Rd, outside of Plymouth, this vineyard is farmed by Josh & Julie Lyman, whose family has been farming potatoes in Idaho since the late 1800’s. They farm about 260 acres in the foothills, but have only 6 rows of Vermentino, about 2 acres. Sustainably farmed.
Cellar Notes: Brought in 5 tons of fruit & peeled off 1 ton for skin-fermented. Destemmed into macrobin & allowed to go through native fermentation. Pressed & put into 2 neutral barrels & a stainless steel drum until bottled unfiltered in January 2024.
Tasting Notes: Barely discernible skin-contact gives this Vermentino a structure that supports bright citrus notes, pale melon, & a washed rice quality. The palate is smooth, yet playful.
