Winemaking: This is the thirteenth vintage of Vermentino from the Fox Family Vineyard! Vermentino is thought to have originated in Spain and has made amazing, crisp food-friendly wines in Italy and Southern France where it is named Rolle. I like to enjoy this wine with oysters on a warm spring day, by the pool or with shellfish. These grapes come from a tiny, high density block on a rocky slope of the Fox Family Vineyard. The grapes were hand harvested (by me, my mom and dad, my brothers and a few of my dad’s friends), sorted and whole-cluster pressed to preserve the fresh, crisp and fruity quality of this amazing varietal. The juice was then fermented in all older French oak barrels while preventing malo-lactic fermentation with sulphur dioxide and aged for 3 months in stainless steel. This wine was bottled in June of 2023.
