"We harvested our 1.64 acres of Hershey Sauvignon Blanc in three picks over the period of 18 days. Tradition has made this a “team” pick where all employees join for the first harvest of the season to pick, enjoy a meal and press. We gathered just after Labor Day to make a selective pass of only ripe clusters. Nine days later we made a second pass, and just before the October warming event we finished the lower corner where cooler air collects. All lots were gently basket pressed, leaving clean juice flowing directly to barrel for both native and inoculated fermentations in new and used oak, plus our concrete egg. This was the first vintage where we had sufficient juice to use the egg. It retains the purity of the site while concentrating mid palate weight. The wines were only racked once for blending and once for bottling. Expressive notes of meyer lemon, nutmeg and white flower. Lemon meringue richness with persimmon and candied ginger dominate the mid palate. The high elevation Hershey site and soils are expressed in the crisp, fresh acid profile. . ."
