2021 Uvaggio
uvaggio Italian (u-vàg-gio) field blend/field wine
….where grape varieties are growing in the same vineyard. “...a grape blend prior to fermentation.”
From la collina vineyard, where eight rows of interplanted Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne are hand-harvested and the breakdown is measured (approximately) in picking buckets. These eight rows are all that remain of the original Viognier vines planted in 2001. Over half the vines needed to be replaced in 2017 and the spaces between the remaining vines were replanted with Marsanne and Roussanne.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
"On the nose, this is incredibly aromatic, with white flowers, apricot kernel, white pepper, clove, pink grapefruit and lashings of white chocolate and sesame seeds. In the mouth, the wine is textural and complex, viscose without being fat or oily, but it's weighty in all the right ways."
