Margo, named after Colene’s great-granddaughter, is comprised of selected vineyard blocks from our Estate. The 2022 Margo is bursting with vibrant darker fruit flavors, predominantly black cherry and raspberry, this wine offers a plush, broad palate with velvety tannins. Enjoy its lively character now, or allow it to develop complexity with age. 

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

Clonal composition: 45% Pommard, 33% Wadensvil, 22% Dijon 115

Elevage: 11-months in French oak 35%-New, 43%-1YR, 22%-2YR
