Was it native yeast or commercial yeast for fermentation?

We use a native yeast in the winery known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Where are the grapes from?

For this vintage, the grapes were sourced from Peake Ranch, a beautiful vineyard situated in Santa Rita Hills of Santa Barbara county. Cool climate, very windy, and clay loam soils.

What were the extraction procedure like?

Pumpovers initially, not so much for extraction but for aeration of wine to give enough oxygen for yeast to develop healthy cell walls.

We also commissioned a stainless steel apparatus to keep the “cap” of the fermentation submerged throughout.

Where do you ship to?

We are currently shipping only within California.

How is money being used?

For the years 2023-2025, we will be focusing on getting underrepresented people in the region the opportunity to interview for wine harvest internships with wineries in the region. We will be subsidizing a portion of their rent during this internship.
