    • Description

      Anderson Valley blend of vineyards – the pressed wines from any of the vineyard designated under Littorai, or new vineyards. Does have some conventional farming sources, potentially, in the wine, as a departure from the organic/biodynamic ethos of all other vineyards. A judicious blend to put into bottle earlier, and to drink therefore earlier.
