A Gauntlet Unlike Any Other Long before the first grapes blush, in the cold, short days of winter, the vintage journey begins. Crisp air. Early shadows. The silence broken only by the snipping of shears. Each vine pruned to its own standard. Each vine destined to make its own statement. Spring clusters offer great promise but only a few will travel the final leg of this journey. Their arrival at the winery, though much anticipated, is still treated with measured restraint. One final test awaits these berries. A gauntlet of sorting, sifting, and screening unlike any other. Only the best survive. |
