WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Textbook Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is produced using specific viticultural and vinification techniques. Grapes are sourced from four distinct sub-districts within Paso Robles, each contributing unique characteristics. The 2023 growing season, marked by a wet winter and cool spring, allowed for extended fruit hang time, promoting flavor development and acidity retention. Fermentation occurs in 100% stainless steel for seven days, a process designed to preserve the purity of the fruit. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for 14 months in French oak barrels, with 30% of the barrels being new. This aging regimen contributes to the wine's structure, complexity, and smooth finish.
