A cuvée made from the oldest Mourvèdre vines in California... 100 year old vines, own-rooted / ungrafted, farmed organically and planted in San Benito County (in the very small appellation of Lime Kiln Valley), on very degraded soils of limestone and granite. No additives during vinification, maceration of whole grape bunches, maturation in 600-litre demi-muid barrels that have seen 15 wines. Unfiltered and unfined, with just a microdose of sulphur at bottling.
