Winemaker Notes:

For the first time, in 2025 we made a Primitivo Blanc using familiar techniques as our Barbera Blanc. Harvested by hand September 30, 2025, Brix 21 and pH 3.6, grapes immediately pressed with minimal skin contact time using custom-programmed press cycle in large bladder press. Transferred to Apollo egg-shaped tanks for fining fermentation. Used a different yeast than that of our usual red Primitivo, one noted for elevating fruit aromas such as apple strawberry pear tropical. Cold stabilized outside over the winter months and bottled in April 2026 using screw cap closures to retain the amazing aromatics. Pleasant smooth finish, much like red Primitivo, with lower acidity than Barbera Blanc.

Vineyard Notes:

Planted on deep-growing and drought-tolerant special rootstock, our Estate Old Vine Primitivo grows on a steep hillside at a 2,000-foot altitude in Amador County’s Shenandoah Valley of the Sierra Foothills. It thrives in warm daytime breezes from the Central Valley and cool Sierra evenings, a 30-degree swing in temperature. Our Primitivo is dry-farmed with sustainable growing practices.
