The Santa Ynez Valley’s unusual orientation pulls maritime wind inland across the extended Santa Ynez Valley every afternoon + fog every evening. As the fog fills the Valley it rolls into Ballard Canyon settling into it at night, then burning off the Northern portions first thing in the morning + the Southern parts around 9 or 10AM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIn the winery, we de-stemmed 75% of the fruit leaving 25% of the clusters in the fermentation.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eWe left the fermentation on skins for about three weeks and pumped over once daily.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThe wine was pressed at dryness, and aged in neutral and 2 year old French oak for 18 months before bottling.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThe resulting wine is simultaneously rich and fresh with blackberry \/ blueberry fruit, graphite, and smoked meat characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e119\u003c\/span\u003e cases produced\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Potek Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8837514559537,"sku":"PK14BVSY","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2979\/2762\/files\/PotekSyrahwithwarmivorylabel.png?v=1790960291","url":"https:\/\/municipalwinemakers.com\/products\/2014-rancho-boa-vista-syrah","provider":"Municipal Winemakers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
