Vineyard The vineyard sits at an elevation of 2000 feet. Shake Ridge has perhaps best been described as a small village of vineyards rather than one contiguous site. Planted throughout 40 acres of rolling hills, each little parcel has a different slope, aspect and soil profile creating many different microclimates within the same vineyard.
Soil Volcanic, decomposed granite, quartz.
Viticulture Vineyards are farmed using organic methods.
Vinification 100% Whole Cluster Fermentation. Native yeast. No temperature controlled fermentation. Lightly tread by foot throughout fermentation (1-2x a day).
Aging Aged for 10 months in 11 year old used french oak 600L Demi-Muid. Racked only at bottling. Bottled without fining or filtration.
