Winemaker's Notes:
The 1998 L'Apres-Midi is now solely sourced from our own estate vineyard on the slopes of Mount St. Helena. Grapes were hand-picked and hand-sorted, whole cluster pressed and then barrel fermented in French oak with 60% indigenous yeasts. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc was ”sur lie" aged in the barrel for ten months and bottled in August, 1999.
Tasting Notes:
Gooseberry fruit, grapefruit oils, and lemon zest aromas are complemented by a hint of sweet oak. With a full fruit entry, the vibrant flavors exude a variety of citrus on the palate, including pink grapefruit, lemons and tangerines with pleasing slate-like mineral tones evoking the terroir.
437 cases 750 ml bottles, 120 1.5L bottles produced.
Notes: 10% Bordeaux shaped Allier, light toast barrels Barrel aged sur lies for 11 months with weekly batonnage
