Named after Victoria’s daughter and Colene’s granddaughter, Adriane is an estate cuvée composed of specifically selected vineyard blocks that possess deep, concentrated flavors and a persistent finish
Winemaking: Harvest began on October 10th and continued through the 18th. Once in the winery, the fruit was 100% destemmed into small stainless steel tanks and began a 4 - 5 day cold soak. Following this, tanks were gently warmed, and fermentation by indigenous yeast began and continued for 10-14 days. Throughout primary fermentation, the tanks were gently punched down by hand twice daily. Once fermentation was complete, the wine remained in tank for 5 - 7 days of extended maceration, after which it was drained and the skins and seeds went to press to very gently to procure the remaining juice. Both the free-run juice and pressed juice went directly to barrel without settling
