The inaugural vintage of Graves Coast Blanc is an homage to the traditional Bordeaux Blanc of Graves, the left bank appellation that established Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon as one of the great blending pairs in wine.
Both varieties come from Gist Ranch, a roughly 10-acre parcel at 2,400 feet in the northern end of the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA. Organically farmed on steep slopes of sandstone and fractured bedrock, it's a high-elevation, marine-influenced site that holds onto acidity long into the season. Sémillon was harvested September 7th, Sauvignon Blanc on the 12th.
The 2024 was aged 17 months across a range of vessels: stainless steel, 1,000L Slovenian oak botti, cigar barrels, hogsheads, and standard barriques, with no lees stirring. The mix of vessel sizes and materials helps to build texture and complexity.
