What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...
Vineyard
Temperance Hill’s (30-year-old) late-harvested and cooler high-elevation vines deliver old vine complexity with fresh acidity. The five best barrels became this wine. The vines are from the front block east, the oldest at Temperance, and their massive root systems go deep to deliver both high flavor and nuance to the limited yield.
Soil
Ancient, exposed basalt soils
Vinification
Small-lot wild yeast fermentations
Aging
100% barrel aged for 19 months in French oak barrels (one new, three neutral). Bottled unfined and unfiltered
