Winemaker Notes

Ponzi Pinot Blanc opens with white tea, guava, and citrus — fresh and unhurried. White peach, gold kiwi, daisy, and crushed oyster shell arrive in quiet succession. On the palate, lychee and star fruit move alongside white peach and white lavender, river rock grounding it all beneath. Unctuous but focused, with seamless length and bright, juicy acidity that carries the wine from entry to finish without a single unnecessary step.

In the vineyard

The 2025 vintage is one to be adored. The growing season was warm and dry — wet weather through March gave way to a warm, dry April through June, and the rest of summer followed suit. A heat spell around Labor Day Weekend pushed ripeness ahead of schedule. Yield was down across the valley, but what came off the vines was clean, ripe, and balanced. Drawn primarily from the LIVE Certified Sustainable Aurora Vineyard, with small contributions from the Historic Estate and Avellana, harvested September 23, 2025.

IN THE CELLAR

Grapes were whole cluster pressed, then settled for 24 hours before primary fermentation began. Fermented on lees in temperature-controlled stainless steel — never exceeding 60°F — with one neutral oak barrel for variation. Slow fermentation, by design: preserving aromatics, allowing a healthy and unhurried ferment. Went through full malolactic fermentation. Five months on lees before bottling.
