Unit price per
Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico— 85% Syrah and 15% Viognier from the Santos Gallardo Vineyard planted during the late 1960s on loamy clay soils with rich minerality, around 200m elevation an hour’s drive south of Ensenada. The grapes were harvested all in one day to ensure a complete co-fermentation. After the grapes arrive at the winery they spend the first 24 hours in the cold room, to help preserve aromatics and slow down primary fermentation. The next day the grapes are 50-70% destemmed with the remainder whole cluster, and combined into stainless steel tanks for primary fermentation with daily pump-overs. After 2-3 weeks, the wine is racked into neutral French 225L barrels for malolactic fermentation and raised an additional 4-6 months in barrel. The finished wine is racked back into tank for a final settling of sediment, and bottled unfined, unfiltered and with only 10ppm SO2 addition. Dark plums, purple berries, flowers and herbs with a saline kick.
