Origin: Hinesburg, Champlain Valley, Vermont
Varieties: 100% Marquette
Vineyard: From the organically and biodynamically farmed Little Hinesburg Vineyard, a ½ acre plot of around 180 1 3 -year - old vines planted on clay, limestone, and silty loam soils.
Vinification: Method Grapes were hand-harvested on September 11th and left to rest whole cluster for two days before destemming and lightly foot -trodding. Fermented on the skins for 13 days without temperature control and with punch downs daily. Then pressed on September 26th to 80 -gallon flex tank and then into glass demijohns for the final three months before the wine was bottled on September 14th, 2022. Rocio is Camila’s mother’s middle name, and this wine is made in her honor.
