Amevive Estate Peripherie Ibarra Young Vineyard 2024

Amevive Estate Peripherie Ibarra Young Vineyard 2024 From the winery:  These vines are part of the original planting by Charlotte Young in 1971. The 2024 vintage marks these vine’s 53st harvest - pretty amazing. This wine comes from the far western side of the property, the edge, or the “peripherie”. While the majority of the old vines in the vineyard have typical length 3ft shoots, and moderately sized clusters, the “peripherie” row may have up to 10ft long canes sprawling onto the floor and often football sized clusters.  I felt there could be a more intentional use than blending this anomaly section of higher vigor vines into the block designate wines. So, as an ode to the traditional way of harvesting and in an effort to make a fresh wine out of a serious vineyard, I made a co-fermented field blend.  In some ways, it is the truest representation of the site, as it speaks to all the original blocks.  It is a special wine, and it holds a special place in our hearts Winery Tasting Not
