Grape Variety:
100% Pinot Meunier
Tasting Note:
La Capella is a small, steep vineyard planted predominantly to Pinot Meunier. The vines are dense, at 5000-6000 feet per hectare, with small amounts of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris interplanted throughout. Deep layers of clay cover chalky subsoils at the bottom portion of the slope, while silex, marne and limestone dominate the upper slope, where you can find just 10cm of topsoil in some sections. The vineyard is situated in a small meander that gets some of the most intense and direct winds within the valley, likely contributing to the natural salinity, yellow citrus and wild herbs, supported by a substantially vivacious and linear palate.
Vinification:
For less than a hectare, Stephanie produces around 3,000 bottles with Biodynamic Viticulture.
