Maitre De Chai Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
The Gala Mountain Vineyard sits at 1,000 ft. above the Napa Valley on the slopes of Mt. George, just east of the city of Napa. This northwest facing, terraced vineyard was planted in 1992 on rocky volcanic bedrock with sandy topsoil and is cooled by the constant breezes from the San Pablo Bay. The vines are well drained, deep rooting & produce small clusters, which lend to the structure of the wine. This six acre vineyard was converted from organic to biodynamic farming in 2018 and is tended to by hand.
The grapes were de-stemmed & fermented with their native yeasts in small oak and stainless steel open top fermenters, and aged for eighteen months in neutral oak barrels. Sixteen barrels produced.
