Viticulture

This parcel-based cuvée comes exclusively from the Wenzlau Vineyard estate, which is farmed according to organic viticulture practices. Between Rita's Crown, Mount Carmel and Sea Smoke Vineyards, Wenzlau sits atop steep hillsides, above the Santa Ynez River and opposite the Sanford & Benedict vineyards.

Oenology

The wines are fermented in 500L, 350L and 228L barrels. The percentage of new wood is 20%. After nearly a year's ageing, the wines are racked with their lees into stainless steel vats, where they are left to mature for a further five months.
