ELEVAGE: Grapes were foot crushed and put whole cluster into one ton bins to ferment with once daily punchdowns. After thirteen days the grapes were pressed and settled juice was moved to used American and French oak barrels to complete fermentation. Fermentation, including full malolactic, finished in July of 2021. In September the wine was racked out of barrel into tank and bottled by hand without fining or filtration.



Tilled up "soil" during some new planting at Elizabeth's Vineyard.
