Vineyard Notes
2018 was an early one, with relentless hot weather
throughout early summer, and very little rainfall.
Sunburn was a persistent threat, so we strategically
irrigated to ensure the canopies remained healthy.
Despite the vinicultural challenges, ripening was nice
and even, and when harvest began all varieties
came into the winery smoothly. Even with the dramatic start to the season, 2018 will be long remembered for its low yields of high quality, and a vintage that has produced a notable
collection of graceful, elegant wines.
Winemaker Notes
"No rules, no boundaries and no hesitation. e
freedom of the ocean is our ultimate inspiration."
Just as the tides ebb and flow, everchanging and
beautiful, hiding an ultimate beauty beneath their
restless waves - winemakers too must continuously
move and evolve, facing each challenge on the path to
uncovering perfection. And like the changing tides, no
wine is ever the same - each one its own tale of wonder.
Food Pairing Notes
Enjoy with pan-seared rib eye steak and grilled asparagus.
