2024 Terah Wine Co. Vermentino

A 2024 Vermentino from Clements Hills crafted in a natural, skin-contact style that serves as an accessible gateway to orange wines for white wine drinkers. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation and was aged 5 months in stainless steel. Shaped by warm days and cooling delta breezes, it expresses the richness of California's climate and fertile soils while maintaining vivacious acidity and minerality characteristic of the variety. The winemaking approach balances Corsican-style freshness with Sardinian-inspired texture, creating a vibrant, aromatic expression of Vermentino.
