Sign of the Dove Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Our winemaker, Jesse Katz, was able to secure fruit from one of the top blocks in the vineyard, and works closely with the Beckstoffer team to farm our rows with the latest canopy management techniques to encourage precise ripening conditions. Our goal is to harvest fruit at the peak of ripeness with exquisite balance. In the winery, the fruit is hand-sorted three times before a final optical sorting. Fermentation in conducted in both stainless steel and concrete tanks at a range of temperatures to allow different nuances to emerge. A careful selection of "medium-long" toast barrels provide the beguiling aromatic elements of a longer toast with the framing tannins we desire on the palate for Georges III. Elevage was 22 months and the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered. 14.9% ABV
