Product Description
Our approach is simple, paying careful attention to signals from the vines and nature and responding to those with individually prescribed techniques. As each vineyard has its own unique requirements, we manage each according to their inimitable needs rather than a macro approach to farming. We are working to achieve a natural balance between the site, the vines, the aspect and the micro climates in each vineyard, using sustainable and/or organic farming methods whenever possible. For those vineyards from which we source fruit, but do not control the farming itself, we work very closely with the owners and their vineyard crews to overlay our farming philosophy to the blocks designated for Brewer – Clifton in their vineyard. We are incredibly fortunate to work and farm in this exceptional wine growing region, unlike any other in the world. The unique transverse valleys funnel maritime influences through a small appellation replete with variations in soil, aspect and micro-climates to produce a patchwork of sites of character and distinction. One of the coolest climates on the west coast, Sta. Rita Hills also enjoys the longest growing season, making this a veritable paradise for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Within the appellation, each vineyard carries its own imprint. Our mission and indeed our passion is to present wines that convey the characteristics inherent to each of these sites, with uncompromising quality.
Pale gold in colour. Smoky, mineral-laced aromas of candied citrus fruits, peach pit and white flowers, with a zesty, spicy overtone. Dry and sharply focused, offering vibrant lemon and nectarine flavors and subtle iodine and anise notes that gain power with air. Clean and nervy on a strikingly long finish that strongly echoes the mineral and floral notes.
