Our pal Jim Clendenen gave me one ton from his pick at Sanford & Benedict vineyard.  Slightly botrytis, we did a few hours of skin contact before pressing and fermenting.  We tasted the must daily when it got down to around three brix or so.  Once it seemed that there was a sweetness and acid balance we stopped the fermentation.  Akin to a Spatlese level German Riesling.  Bottled in February but saving it for summer.  It is a perfectly refreshing quaff for a hot day poolside.  It is low in alcohol.  I’m a fan and I will drink most of this myself.
