Outward Valdiguie "SHELL CREEK" Paso Robles 750mL
| Vintage: | 2023 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Initially planted in 1972, Shell Creek Vineyard is among the first vineyards planted in San Luis Obispo County, and the ValdiguiĂŠ block was planted in 1997. The vineyard is located in the Paso Robles Highlands District and is organically farmed by the sixth generation Sinton family of California farmers. This remote vineyard sits beneath limestone cliffs featuring marine fossils after which the vineyard was named. Though located in a warmer part of the Paso Robles area, the climate also provides wide diurnal temperature shifts that drastically cool the vines overnight. ValdiguiĂŠ (aka 'Napa Gamay'), is somewhat of a California heritage grape. It ripens at low alcohols and produces large berries and clusters. Outward ferments this wine using carbonic macerationâ"leaving the whole clusters undisturbed for a full 10 daysâ"resulting in a bright, light, and juicy wine, best enjoyed with a slight chill. The 2023 Shell Creek ValdiguiĂŠ bursts with bright juicy flavors and aromas of fresh strawberries, crunchy rhubard, cinnamon, and. watermelon jolly rancher. Exceptionally light and fruity, this carbonic expression is Outward's beloved Valdi-âglouâ. |
