2023 Sencillo

Sencillo

The Sencillo wine (Spanish for “simple”) is our crisp white wine to emphasize just what the vineyard can give us. The Gables vineyard provides the Riesling with its steely citrus notes and our Estate Vineyard provides the Viognier that is known to be very floral with hints of stone fruit.

2023 saw our smallest harvest of estate Viognier. Despite the small crop, or maybe because of it, the wine was intense. Fortunately, the small production was offset by the Riesling vineyard which was maturing and had its yield increasing. Simple in concept but not in flavor! As both vineyards are getting a little older, I have noticed more depth in flavors and this vintage is our best effort by far. Extra time in bottle will add more richness and I am certain it will improve for another 3 years.
