2024 Terah Wine Co. Vermentino

This 100% Vermentino is produced in California using minimal‐intervention, skin-contact techniques that align with natural and orange wine styles. The grapes, sourced from vineyards such as Clements Hills and other sites where the terroir is shaped by coastal Pacific Ocean influences, warm days, and cooling delta breezes, are processed to enhance their intrinsic character. Winemaking includes full malolactic fermentation and a five‐month period of stainless steel aging, reflecting both traditional methods reminiscent of Corsican and Sardegna practices and modern approaches to express the vineyard’s unique attributes. Initially introduced at select Whole Foods locations, the wine is positioned as an accessible, premium expression of Californian Vermentino.
