Vintage and Production Notes:
The South Dartmouth area along the southern shores of Massachusetts basked in the summer sunlight during the drought of 2019. Very little rain fell from July-September, leading to the development of some amazing fruit aromas & flavors. Harvested by hand, the grapes were gently destemmed and pressed. The juice was fermented for 2 weeks at less than 65F. A full malo-lactic fermentation while aging on the lees in stainless steel balanced the flavors and acidity while maintaining the intense fruit aromas.
