Winemakers Notes

Tasting Notes "Made in the tradition of Moscato D' Asti from the Piemonte region of Italy, our Moscato is a fruity, slightly sweet wine balanced with wonderful acidity and light effervescence. Sourced from our Cold Creek Vineyard Muscat Canelli grapes, the wine exhibits luscious aromas of ripe apple and cinnamon spice. Flavors of Asian pear are soft and round on the palate. Try this refreshing wine with appetizers." -Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker Vintage 2006 was a year of extremes in weather. A cooler than normal, wet spring was followed by a very long, hot summer. The weather read more...was nearly ideal during the growing season. Summer fell into a consistent pattern of dry weather, warm days and cool nights. Harvest began early, with some white grapes being picked in late August. A cool spell in mid-September slowed things down and allowed more hang time for enhanced flavor development. Vineyards Sourced from aromatic Muscat Canelli fruit from our Cold Creek Vineyard. Warm, sunny days and cool evenings at this site create ideal conditions for aroma and fl avor development in the ripening grapes. Cold Creek Vineyard's low yielding old vines produce small clusters and small berries, resulting in intense varietal flavors. The site's weak, silty loam soils with low water holding capacity allow precise control of vine growth through drip irrigation and canopy management. Winemaking The juice was fermented for five weeks in stainless steel. Cool fermentation temperatures were carefully monitored to preserve the Muscat Canelli's crisp fruit character.
