Sic Transit Gloria

Description

From Latin, “so passes the glory of the world.” This wine is grown, selected, sorted, crushed, fermented, matured, and bottled in respect of natural processes. Only 1160 bottles were made.

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi is selected for rare intensity, clarity of expression, and potential to reflect the estate’s underlying viticultural principles. The vineyards and grapes selected for this wine vary from vintage to vintage, and the style may vary significantly from year to year. Each unique bottling is a rare glimpse of a specific terroir.  The wine is composed almost entirely of free run juice, hand pressing being used to gently obtain a small press fraction of less than 5% of the total volume.

This vintage is rich & full-bodied. It showcases a slightly oxidative, old-world winemaking style.
