Notes:

Harvested from the organic Zabala Vineyards in Arroyo Secco AVA. Right on the dry riverbed of the valley, these grapes are filled with bright fruit flavors and punch acidity. Harvested at 21.5 brix and 3.2 pH with 2.2 g/L of malic acid.

After arriving in Gilroy, the grapes were hand-sorted by winemaker Quinn Hobbs and pressed into a flex tank eggs tank where they stayed for 30 days before being racked off lees. Bottled at 15 ppm of SO2 with 2.2 g/L of malic acid and 3.2 pH.
