Overview
In 2002, Anthony Terlato tasked us with developing a white wine that was of the same caliber of our well-known proprietary red Elevage. Our winemaking team jumped on the project with equal passion. We obsessed over grape variety, barrel types, aging techniques, fermentation tricks – everything to produce the best white blend possible. Today, we use a diverse set of techniques including whole cluster pressing, various yeasts including native, barrel fermentation, and “sur lies” aging in order to create a wine which is rich, versatile and that stands the test of time.
