Two clones of Pinot Noir were utilized:

667 - harvested on October 6th at 25.70 brix.

Both lots were inoculated with RA17 oenological yeast and fermentations were conducted in small open-top fermentors with punch-downs done by hand twice per day.

After a twelve day fermentation both lots were pressed slowly up to 1.2 bars of pressure into neutral French oak barrels. After four months of aging both lots were racked and 30% was put into new Boutes French oak barrels with a light toast. One small lot of the 667 clone was separated to age in a Gamba Jupille medium-plus barrel. Aging in barrel would continue for an additional eight months.

Both lots were blended then bottled on September 22nd, 2022 with 14.21% alcohol, 6.2 g/L total acidity and a pH of 3.78. Sulfites we adjusted to a level of 30ppm (parts per million) prior to bottling to inhibit microbial activity. Sugar free (less than 0.06 grams per bottle). No filtering, fining agents or animal products were used in the production of this wine.
