Eyrie Chasselas Dore Special
This wine is made from 12 rows of ungrafted vines in our Sisters Vineyard. Viticulture at all of the estate vineyards is certified organic. In addition we practice regenerative no-till farming, with strict attention paid not just to the vines but to the healthy networks of soil organisms that support them. Not only does this approach avoid the need for artificial irrigation, it also nourishes the vines without the need for additional fertilizer, and captures atmospheric carbon. In the winery, we refrain from unnecessarily manipulating the wines during their fermentation and maturation, allowing them to reflect the vintage. The 2022 vintage aged 11 months on lees. With full natural malolactic fermentation, the wine is crisp and focused with plenty of richness to carry the low alcohol level natural to the grape.
