Item Description
Southing refers to the south-facing hillside bluffs found on our estate vineyard. Each year, our goal for this wine is to create the ideal marriage of complexity and elegance. Southing is a true expression of the terroir of Sea Smoke Vineyard: seductive flavors and fine tannins complimented by cool climate acidity.
APPELLATION: Santa Rita Hills
COMPOSITION: 100% Pinot Noir
Tasting notes:
Winemaking: We sorted clusters in the vineyard and then gently
destemmed following an evening in our cold room. We removed all
‘jack stems’ on the sorting table. Musts were cold soaked in open-top
fermenters for one to four days, then inoculated with cultured yeasts to
begin slow fermentation. Each tank was manually punched down one to
three times per day, with a total maceration time of fourteen to eighteen days. Upon completion of primary fermentation and maceration,
all free run wine was transferred to tank for settling. We pressed at
extremely low pressure (0.08 bars) to avoid extracting bitterness from
the seeds. After settling overnight both free-run and press wines were
racked to barrels.
Character: Each year, our goal for Southing is to create the ideal
marriage of complexity and elegance. The ever-changing nose of the
2013 Southing exhibits dusty red fruit, savory spices and rose petals.
The fine tannins and minerality are enhanced by our estate vineyard’s
characteristic cool climate acidity.
