Syrah sourced from the organically farmed Oakstone vineyard in Calaveras County, within the Sierra Foothills AVA. The 2017 growing season was marked by a prolonged heat spike that caused the vines to shut down early before harvest, resulting in elevated acidity and unusually low alcohol at 11%. Grapes were hand-picked in the early morning of September 23.
After harvest, clusters were sorted and foot-trodden until roughly one-third of the grapes were crushed. The macerating fruit was blanketed with carbon dioxide and allowed to cold-soak. Fermentation with native yeasts began three days after harvest. The cap was submerged twice daily until pressing on October 2, at which point one-third of the clusters remained intact whole. Total maceration lasted around nine days.
Malo-lactic conversion began as fermentation concluded and finished within ten weeks. The wine was aged in neutral barrel and bottled unfined and unfiltered with no added sulfites. Granitic soils at elevation in the Sierra Foothills give the wine its lifted, bright character despite the warmth of the appellation.
