The 2023 Vintage Release Includes:
The Estate Series:
The Estate Series is our signature collection, showcasing the unique character of our estate-grown grapes. Crafted with sophistication and luxury in mind, the Estate Series offers wines of exceptional depth and complexity, reflecting the true essence of our vineyards.
Estate Series Pinot Noir
On the nose, it presents an intense bouquet of ripe red fruits, including cherries and raspberries, alongside hints of plum and gentle spice. The palate is vibrant and complex, featuring layers of rich fruit flavors balanced by a subtle earthiness. Aged in 40% new French and Austrian oak, and 60% neutral French oak with a medium toast, this wine is medium-bodied with silky tannins that provide structure while maintaining an elegant mouthfeel.
Estate Series Chardonnay
On the nose, it reveals inviting aromas of ripe peach, crisp green apple, and subtle hints of citrus, mingling with delicate floral notes. The palate is beautifully layered, featuring flavors of tropical fruits and a touch of creaminess, enhanced by a soft oak influence that adds depth without overpowering the fruit. Aged for 10 months in 100% new French oak barrels, this wine gains added depth and structure. A refreshing, vibrant acidity culminates in a long, elegant finish.
The Cuatro Series:
Our Cuatro Series wines are a tribute to the next generation, honoring the future of our winemaking journey. Each wine symbolizes the legacy we are building and the values we hope to pass down, celebrating the promise and potential of those who will shape the next chapter of our story.
Cuatro Pinot Noir
On the nose, it offers elegant aromas of ripe cherries, strawberries, and raspberries, intertwined with subtle notes of spice and a hint of floral undertones. The wine’s medium body is supported by well-integrated tannins and bright acidity, which enhance its overall freshness. Aged in 100% neutral French oak barrels, this Pinot Noir gives a lingering finish with delicate minerality and a whisper of earthiness.
Cuatro Chardonnay
On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of ripe pear and green apple. The palate is vibrant and refreshing, showcasing flavors of citrus zest and stone fruit, with a creamy mouthfeel. A touch of minerality enhances its complexity, leading to a long, elegant finish. Aged in 10% new and 90% neutral French oak barrels, this Chardonnay embodies both elegance and approachability, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
