3D Pinot Noir

The primary emphasis of the predominantly sandy 10-acre Sta. Rita Hills vineyard is Chardonnay, with equal amounts of five clones planted (4, 76, Hyde, Mount Eden and Sea Smoke Wente). In addition to Chardonnay, there is a smaller field of Pinot Noir planted to Swan, Pommard, 667 and 828 clones. Only neutral barrels are employed. Brewer-Clifton strives for whole cluster fermentation and farms with a focus of ripening the stems alongside the fruit, allowing the cluster to be in harmony. Working with the stems allows for wines that are structured, earthy and balanced with our beautiful Sta. Rita Hills fruit.
