Winemaker Notes
Delightfully snappy, the Migration Edna Valley Grüner Veltliner is as evocative as it is exquisite. Refreshing brightness and crisp acidity are balanced by the gentle weight imparted by meticulous barrel fermentation and bâtonnage techniques. As it lingers at the end, a subtle minerality comes forth, leaving a lasting impression that endures long after the glass is empty.
Production
The 2023 growing season began with a long, wet winter and an early spring that led to a late budbreak throughout the Central Coast. While moderate spring weather ensured a near-ideal bloom, as the mild temperatures continued into summer the vines ripened slowly. In a typical year we would begin our Central Coast harvest in early September, but in 2023, our first pick was on October 5th. Fortunately, October brought beautiful sunny days in the upper-70s, ensuring excellent ripeness, and a perfect balance between acid and Brix with no dehydration.
