Wenzlau Vineyard 'Cuvée L'Inconnu' Sta. Rita Hills Blanc de Noirs 2015 NEBBIOLO While considered a riper-style vintageCuve L'Inconnu (meaning the unknown) is made from a single vintage, single vineyard, single block in the traditional Mthode Champenoise. The fruit was harvested in the foggy, early morning hours from clone 115, and is 100% Pinot Noir. The smaller than usual grapes were lightly pressed with stems in our vintage Coquard press directly into stainless steel tank. The juice fermented there, then was racked to a 2nd tank where it rested 12 months. July
