2023 Lady of the Sunshine, Pinot Noir ‘Chene Vineyards’, Edna Valley, USA Partida Creus Vineyard: graniteThis vintage is a 50 50 split of Dijon Clone 667 and 115 from the steepest hillside blocks that sit on Monterey formation rock bed. This site is naturally devigored and makes for concentrated, small clusters that achieve stem lignification early on. The grapes were fermented with 100% whole cluster with light extraction during fermentation. The wine was pressed in our wooden basket press at dryness and aged for 10 months in neutral french oak barrels
