Viticulture
growing season was very typical through early spring. Early summer through harvest gave us some unexpected heatwaves but plenty of mild weather in between resulting in a slight delay of harvest but mature fruit and flavors.
Vinification
Treana Blanc is a blend, primarily of Marsanne and Viognier, that is made by first whole-cluster pressing the grapes and chilling the juice for settling. The settled juice is then fermented in a mix of French oak barrels (with 50% being twice-used, 25% once-used, and 25% neutral). The wine ages on its lees for seven months before being blended and aged for another two months before bottling.
