2014 Alquimia
Our late disgorged Alquimia is named in honor of the magic of winemaking and how we transform hand-picked Carneros grapes into our version of liquid gold. Every year a unique creation is released exclusively to our club members with limited availability. This vintage wine is one-of-a-kind, it is a four and a half year aged brut that is both elegant and complex.

Food Pairings

Ratatouille with creamy polenta or even French Fries with béarnaise sauce will pair with the robust flavors created by this blend. Try a creamy funky cheese like Red Hawk, or a simple chevre for the cheese course.

The 2014 growing season got off to an early start with budbreak about two weeks earlier than average. Mild weather through the growing season without rain events or heat spikes was optimal for the development of the fruit. The early spring brought on an early harvest with average size yields of excellent fruit.
