Estate Vineyard
Our Rennie Organic Vineyard was planted in
1990. It features a split canopy, quadrilateral
cordon with a 9’ x 6’ spacing. It rests on
benchlands at about 1,000 ft. elevation with a
southern exposure.

Winemaker Notes
After a careful field selection, the grapes were
handpicked and the gently crushed and put in
open top fermenters, where they received
a minimum three days of cold soak. Pasteur
Red yeast was used and fermentation was
held at 80 degrees F, and continued until
dryness, about 12 days. The tanks were drained
and pomace transferred by hand to the press
where it received a gentle pressing. All wine
was settled in a tank for 24 hours, then racked
into oak cooperage for aging. After 18 months
in 100% seasoned French oak, the wine was
racked into a tank, fined with organic egg
whites, and loosely filtered before bottling.
