Cuvée Alessandra

Pair with oysters, or strawberry tartlets and cheeses.

2016 started as an early harvest in the driest vintage in recorded history. Record breaking heat in December and January suddenly gave way to lower temperatures in February and March which lengthened the ripening period of later cultivars.

Barrel matured for eight months in very old barrels with 16 months on the less in the bottle.
