2018 Sémillon
Harvested at the new moon, pressed at the full moon. This wine is a total body experience. Left on the skins for 14-31 days, with gentle hand push downs, this Sémillon is a luscious, energetic funkster. It is unlike any other wine I have ever tasted, in a good way with notes of honeycomb, tea, candied lemon peel, petrol. Drink this morning, noon, or night. It doesn’t matter. It is joy liquified.

Vineyard notes
This little planting (only 0.46 acres) has made a big impression on us as we've gotten to know the fruit. The unique red, iron rich soils and low yields lend to the complex aromatics of this wine.

About 60% of this wine was fermented on its skins with native yeast, the other 40% was direct pressed into barrel where it aged sur lie for about 5 months. It was bottled in the spring of 2019.
