2013 Archium “Haven” GrenacheSanta Ynez Valley

Stolpman Vineyard’s Grenache is in extremely high demand and we consider ourselves very fortunate for our allocation each year from this remarkable location. These 100% organically dry-farmed vines naturally yield fewer grapes, and pour all their energy into ripening concentrated, vibrant, undiluted grape clusters. Our fruit was harvested before sunrise on September 27, 2013 and enjoyed a 24-hour cold soak, followed by a 14-day fermentation that included 20% whole clusters. The wine was pressed into neutral oak barrels and aged for 18 months.
