About

Product Description:

"This wine is the pair but not the twin of the Naucratis. It too is Verdelho from the Sacramento Delta region, but from first sight in the vineyard it promised a different wine. The berries at Delu were smaller, the clusters tighter, the grapes less fragrant and more chewy. The final wine expresses this perfectly: its nose is dominated by a salty minerality and pork belly character. This wine was fermented at cellar temperature and kept in stainless tank at cellar temperature; it has never seen a barrel. Nonetheless, it is a harder, heavier, perhaps deeper wine than the Naucratis, with an emphasis on minerality rather than florality. It is the warrior brother." -Winery
