2023 Rutherford Dust Vineyard Vermentino

The Rutherford Dust Vineyard is sited in an area of the valley historically planted to white varieties, and to our delight, the farming is Demeter-certified Biodynamic. Mainly, this means that extra care is taken to farm the old way (very Relic!) in order to build soil for the future, according to the studies and principles of Rudolph Steiner. The result of this thoughtful farming of a classic, white Italian varietal, Vermentino, is a vibrant, juicy bright white wine. Aromas of white peach, juicy pear, lime zest and white pepper rise from the glass. On the palate, the wine is clear and clean, but has great mid-palate and some lushness to the body, making for a generous and giving wine full of personality.
