Tasting NOTES
On the nose, were greeted with aromas of orange blossom. First, savor the vibrant citrus notes of grapefruit, and yuzu. Then, a subtle warmth of nutmeg complements the tropical medley of papaya, pineapple guava, and a hint of tangy tamarind. Ideal pairing? Try it with tuna poke.
Vineyard NOTES
Sourced from our Regenerative Organic Certified® Rhinefarm Estate which the Bundschu family has been farming for over 165 years. It is located on the southwestern slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, just eight miles north of San Pablo Bay. The terrain below 150-foot elevation features gently sloping Huichica clay loam soils with gravel deposits and cooler growing conditions that deliver minerality and focused acidity. Eleven acres of Heritage Selection vines, planted in 1969, were harvested in two lots and bring spice and floral notes. Nine acres of clone 47 vines, planted in 2008, were harvested in three lots and provide fresh fruit flavors
Production NOTES
2023 marked our first harvest of our Regenerative Organic Certified® vineyards. It was an exceptional vintage across Sonoma, with a slow, cool growing season with plentiful rain. Tracking about a month behind our typical harvest, it was one of the coolest and latest vintages we've seen on Rhinefarm in recent history, with grapes coming into the winery into November. With roughly 150% of our average rainfall, combined with cooler temperatures in both spring and summer, our soil was nourished and canopies grew abundantly. The grapes developed gradually and enjoyed extra ripening time through the slow season. The consistently cool climate created complex, balanced and elegant wines, distinctly highlighting our terroir.
