Tasting Notes
A pretty nose of honeydew melon, elderflower liqueur, and citrus blossom, with a little minty lift. The palate shows notes of fresh pear and sweet green herbs with a little salty minerality coming out on the long, clean finish. Lovely

Production Notes
The grapes for our Marsanne were grown on our Regenerative Organic Certified™ and biodynamic estate vineyard.
The 2024-25 winter began dry but finished wet, with two-thirds of the winter's precipitation coming in February and March. That late rain delayed budbreak and allowed us to dodge any spring frosts. The summer was warm but rarely hot, with the fewest 100° days since 2011. Harvest began at a normal time frame, but cool temperatures in September and October slowed down harvest. We navigated two early rain events without damage and finished an extended but unhurried harvest in early November. The exceptionally long hangtime and gradual ripening combined to produce fruit with remarkable intensity and noteworthy vibrancy. We believe 2025 has all the hallmarks of a blockbuster year.
The Marsanne was whole-cluster pressed, and fermented in a mix of stainless steel (to emphasize its clean crisp flavors and minerality) and foudre (to build body and richness). Only native yeasts were used. We fermented it in 600-gallon foudres for a balance of richness and brightness, then chose the lots for our varietal bottling, returned it to large wood for a few more months, and bottled it in June 2026.
