This is the first release of Aesalon since 2019. The parcel is in the far Southeast corner of the farm with an eastern exposure. We grafted it in 2016 from Pinot Gris to a field blend based on Spanish and Portuguese white varieties: Xarel-lo, Arinto, Verdehlo, Albarino, Trousseau Gris, Godello, Albillo Real and Macabeo. The grapes are macerated in a wooden vat for five days before being pressed by foot into old barrels where it aged for 20 months before bottling by hand. This is the parcel where I feel most clearly the pulsing of energy that has emerged in the vineyard over time. The grazing animals interact with the plants to feed the life beneath the soil. Plants flower in waves, leaving their scent on the ripening clusters. We spray teas to draw this life and aroma into the canopy. Each parcel begins to develop it’s own biome. You can smell it in the rows in the approach to harvest and in echo of it in the finished wine. Somehow in this wine it is as if the scent of apricots passed through this living substrate, becoming more intense through the passing and taken on all the other flavors of the landscape; the petals of chamomile, the wings of insects and the sweetness that can be found on a cow’s back.
