GRAPES: 100% SAUVIGNON BLANC
SKIN CONTACT: 9 MONTHS
REGION: SANTA YNEZ, CALIFORNIA
Vinification method: There was never a grand plan at AmByth Estate, beyond trying to understand the land and treat it the best way they could for future generations (thus the name AmByth, meaning "forever" in Welsh). The land was purchased in 2 parcels, in 2000 and 2001. In 2003 Biodynamic preparations started to be added in homeopathic quantities, setting the scene for the Earth to function in as healthy a way as possible.
Grown in Ambyth’s Coquelicot vineyard in Santa Ynez, CA, with soil comprised of shale, sandstone, and granite, this unique Sauvignon Blanc was gently pressed by foot and fermented with skin contact in Italian terracotta amphorae and stainless steel for 9 months. It was pressed off the skins and they settled it for 1 month before bottling during descending moons. Unfiltered, unfined, no added SO2.
Tasting notes: medium-bodied, white peach, black tea kiwi, lychee, green apple
