40% Sauvignon Blanc 35% Gewürztraminer 25% Chardonnay

This blend is a combination of 3 white varieties, farmed by our good friend Rajat Parr at the organically farmed Stolo Vineyard in the northern part of the SLO Coast AVA, in Cambria.  The Gewurztraminer was destemmed and then fermented with 5 days of skin contact, while the Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay were foot tread and soaked on skins overnight before being pressed the next day.  All the juice was fermented with native yeast in neutral french oak barrels. The wine went through malolactic fermentation and aged on lees for 10 months.  The wine was blended at racking for bottling, with minimal sulfur used, unfined and unfiltered.  264 cases were produced.
