Nose
Impressions | a wine as mad as the Sirocco, complex as a lover's words, dramatically bright as Van Gogh, unfathomable as your soul.
Growing Conditions
Nutrient-deficient sandy soils cause the vines to struggle, yielding wines with greater concentration, and intense aromatics. South-facing slope. Proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Excellent, even growing season. Small yields and intense berries.
Winemaking
Minimum skin contact, slow fermentation in a cooled, jacketed tank.
Aging
Aged sur lie with battonage for 5 months in neutral french oak
Food Pairing
the perfect wine for smorgasbord! Pairs exuberantly across the board. Oysters with orange mignonette, meat dishes with fruit, chicken tikka masala, bbq fare, duck mole!
LXV flavor Pairing | “A Foil” - apple, apricot, hibiscus, cranberry, orange peel, honey, nutmeg
