About The Harvest
Focus was to balance optimum ripeness before stressing out the vines. More open canopies and cooler but sunny conditions helped to achieve that. We also harvested slightly earlier on sugar ripeness but we still achieved to capture nice fruit.
In The Cellar
The Old Man's Blend White is crafted with meticulous care, starting with the separate vinification of each varietal to preserve their unique characteristics. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, employing reductive winemaking techniques to enhance freshness and purity. These individual components are then expertly blended in varying proportions until we achieve a harmonious balance that meets The Old Man's exacting standards.
