the deep, almost tawny gold color, coupled with a slight pétillance, signals that this is no ordinary gv. it went through four days of whole cluster maceration before being fermented with wild yeasts in new 500-liter austrian oak puncheons. it's rich, toasty and lively in the mouth, yet smoothed out with the oxidative impact of the time in wood. a generous and flavorful wine, it shows toast and nuts and caramelized highlights along with light apple-butter fruit.
