This wine is the result of a happy accident and fun lesson in top grafting (turns out all sticks look the same). It is made from a special plot within Johan Vineyard where Maloof Wines have a number of Italian grape varieties interplanted. They utilize amphora made by Andrew Beckham for fermenting and aging portions of the wine. Year to year, this is one of the more tannic and structured of the Maloof white wines. With an oxidative and rich nose, this wine has lots of dried stone fruit vibes with chalky edges and a lasting finish.
