Presqu'ile Vineyard, located on the southwestern end of the Santa Maria Valley AVA, is a very cold and coastal site with a strong influence from the ocean. The vineyard is planted on ancient sand dunes.
We love this site for the signature spice and herbaceous quality it showcases across all varieties that grow here. In 2023, we destemmed 70% of the grapes and left 30% whole cluster, resulting in a lovely balance of both fruit and spice.
Tasting notes: goji berry, black tea, black cherry, pink peppercorn, cedar
organic / 30% whole cluster / native yeast / unfined / unfiltered
