Winemaking: Peake Ranch is a cool, sustainably farmed vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills AVA. These grapes retain their natural acidity and have beautiful purity, structure and depth. The grapes were 70% destemmed without being crushed, leaving approximately 30% whole-cluster, into a 1.5-ton open top fermentor and cold-soaked for four days prior to inoculation with a Cote Rôtie isolate yeast. The grapes were punched down by hand one to three times per day until fermentation was complete, 14 days. The free run juice was drained off and the remaining must be basket pressed and settled before being racked to 100% French oak (228L Burgundy) barrels for aging. This wine was aged in barrel for an additional twenty-three months prior to being racked from barrel and bottled in September of 2023.
Bottle Aging: Wonderful now, but aging will just enhance this wine. Ideal from 2025-2032
