Seventh Hill Farm: This 5-acre vineyard was planted in 1999. With the perfect southern slope at the north end of Old Mission Peninsula, it typically ripens early with strong acidity and needs some residual sugar to balance. The sandy soils and aspect of the hillside give the wine very natural fruity tones. Tom Scheuerman is a dedicated grape grower with many great vintages under his belt.

Winemaking Notes: Skin contact for 6 hours. Whole cluster direct pressed. Barrel fermented with native yeast. Aged for 15 months in neutral 228-liter barrels. No racking. Unfined and unfiltered.
