100% of the grapes are coming from the famed Kimura Farm

The grapes for this wine came from a specially selected parcel from the larger Kimura vineyard; in a difficult year like 2021, much care was taken in determining the harvest date to avoid overly ripe grapes.

Eighty-five percent of the grapes were destemmed and 15% of the grapes were placed in tank whole-cluster for a short fermentation with wild yeasts at moderate temperatures.

After fermentation, the wine was gently pressed and racked to French oak barrels. The wine was aged in these barrels for 14 months before being racked for blending. The wine was then bottled unfined and unfiltered

small amount of SO2 added just before bottling.
