Winemakers Notes
The classic Goldridge soil found on the Heintz Ranch is immediately apparent as the wine opens on the nose. Elements of dusty, mineral-rich soil with an almost talcum powder-like quality come to the forefront. These soil-inflected notes give way to flavors characteristic of the site, such as fresh pineapple juice and ripe fejoia fruit. White flowers and crème brûlée add complexity to this exciting offering. The palate exhibits tropical fruit, ripe melon, and Gravenstein apple. Dusty minerals round out the wine with a clean finish of pear skin, which gives excellent length. 2013 was a tremendously successful growing season for the Heintz Ranch.
