I’ve long been a fan of this wine. The style is consistently refreshing, without being austere. We sampled the latest vintage recently while attending a Slow Food dinner hosted by the team at Quivira.  It was a magical evening supporting the preservation of American Heritage Turkeys and the local 4-H children who raise them in Sonoma County.

The grapes behind this wine were grown biodynamically. Fermentation was in stainless and the wine aged for 6 months on the lees. Proprietors Pete & Terri Kight. Winemaker for this vintage was Steven Canter. Estate grown, produced and bottled in Healdsburg 14.1% purchased at the winery where it is available for $18.00 Quivira
