A project farmed by Brewer - Clifton, the soil is virtually pure sand with the twenty-three year old vines driving deep into the earth. The wine shows complexity and the crisp minerality of the soil of the vineyard.

The diatom project seeks vineyards that demonstrate their ability to serve as voices for place. The sites are small (3 acres or less in size) and the goal is to gently craft wines of the utmost simplicity and refinement. In order to achieve this, fermentation is carried out at a very cold temperature in neutral vessels to retain the most primary attributes of the fruit. Furthermore, malo-lactic fermentation is inhibited and the wine ages on its lees with no stirring to maintain the purity of the Chardonnay grape's flavors.
