2022 Decko White Wine

Description

The 2022 Decko white wine is a fresh low alcohol white blend. Perfect for out on the “deck” on a summer day. The blend is 43% Vermentino, 43% Colombard and 14% Malvasia Bianca. The aromas exhibit peach, nectarine almond, grapefruit and flowers.

The growing season was marked with frost in the spring. We lost all of the Chenin blanc we normally use in the Decko blend and most of the Malvasia Bianca we usually produce on its own. Vermentino replaced the Chenin blanc and what little bit of Malvasia Bianca we got was included in this blend. Those familiar with our Malvasia Bianca should pick up those floral notes in this wine.

After harvest, the grapes were crushed and de-stemmed and then immediately pressed into a stainless steel tank for fermentation. The wine was aged in stainless steel tank for 9 months before bottling.
