2023 Vermentino Superiore Shines Gold at San Diego Critics Challenge

We are thrilled to announce that our 2023 Vermentino Superiore has been awarded a prestigious 91 Points and a Gold Medal at the Critics Challenge in San Diego. This accolade highlights our dedication to excellence and our passion for crafting exceptional wines. As our largest white planting, Vermentino has become our signature grape, producing a wine reminiscent of those found on the Italian island of Sardinia. Its beautiful minerality and saline features transport you to Mediterranean summers with every sip.

Vermentino grows effortlessly on our property, requiring minimal intervention from our winemaker, allowing the grape's natural elegance to shine through. This smooth and refreshing white wine offers juicy notes of pineapple, sweet lemon, and peach, making it a delightful companion for any occasion. Join us in celebrating this remarkable achievement and experience the captivating charm of our award-winning Vermentino Superiore.
