2024 Filed Recordings SHUCKS

In the mountains above Soledad, at the base of the Pinnacles National Monument, lies the 50-year-old La Puesta block. At a time when varieties were mixed up, the Melon grapes were originally planted as “Pinot Blanc.” Gradually, the vines were replanted with true Pinot Blanc, and today, the actual vineyard mix is unknown. We get a random assortment, picked early in the season to ensure the freshest possible acidity. Aged on its lees until bottling for added richness and complexity while retaining that laser-sharp acidity. Grab your shucking knives.
