  • Winemaker: Norman Beko
  • The 1st entire vintage where our wine was left for 18 mos on the lees in unopened French Oak 225 liter barrels. The "natural" process captures the essence of the grape, influenced by the Pacific Ocean breezes creating warm days and cool nights in our extended growing season.
