Russell Joyce 2023 Vermentino

Winery Notes:

The fruit for this wine was grown just down the road from our winery  at  the Cedar Lane Vineyard in the Arroyo Seco AVA. This AVA is recognized as having the longest growing season in California. Strong daily winds that bring cool fog from the Monterey Bay allow the grapes to spend more time on the vine building flavor and complexity. Extremely rocky well-drained alluvial soils are the base for creating wines processing freshness & minerality. The combination of sand, granite, and shale loam soils with the ever present marine influence provide the perfect conditions for growing Vermentino.
