Well we loved the last vintage and we love this vintage. Luke is still on the top of my winemakers to watch list, and this wine can drive that point home. Lush and zippy with fresh apricot, honeydew and asian pear, there is a saline line that runs though it (you know how I feel about saline, my favorite), and a long honeycomb – macadamia- tangerine finish.
Fruit was stomped and whole-cluster pressed. The juice was cold settled and racked off heavy lees to 2/3 neutral oak, 1/3 stainless steel. Indigenous ferment, ambient temperature. Racked to all
neutral French oak post-fermentation. Elevage was 9 months before being bottled unfined in May 2022. Only addition was SO2 at crush, post-fermentation, and pre-bottling.(So vegan.)
