About Winemaker:
The beauty of a Sky wine is in its iconoclasm, and its apartness from what Napa has come to signify. This is as far as it gets from the big, brutal Zinfandels that we’ve come to associate with Napa’s chateaux. Instead, a sky wine – from Zinfandel and Syrah which ripen above the fog line, and the intense heat of the lower mountain – is something much more fine-boned and characterised by svelte, brambly freshness. The fruit is hand-harvested, fermented in open-top one ton bins, punched down by hand and pressed in their ancient wooden basket press. There are minimal sulphites added on bottling.
