Camp 4 Vineyard

VINTAGEThe vinThe vintage of 2013 has proven to be the highest quality thus far for Kitá Wines. It’s amazing to see excellence in consecutive vintages and a second year of ideal growing conditions. After the high-yielding year of 2012, the harvest was back to normal. We saw great weather conditions during the growing season and a balanced crop load, leading to an outstanding vintage. The moderate weather conditions produced grapes with well-balanced chemistries. Although everything ripened at once, the consecutive dry year produced low to average yields with smaller berries. The high skin- to-juice ratios produced more intintense colors and flavors. The barreled wines showed great richness, depth, and balance in their infancy, indicating an excellent vintage.

WINEMAKER’S NOTESA straw-colored wine is laden with bright aromatics of white flowers, peaches, green apple, and subtle herbs. The intensity of the palate brings out flavors of floral honey, citrus, green apple, and a saline minerality. The dimensions of richness in this wine are balanced by the bright acidity, creamy texture, and intense, yet clean lasting finish.

FOOD PAIRINGSThe 2013 vintage gave great subtle flavors of white flowers, citrus and green apple along with a brightness on the palate which make it the perfect match for seafood such as oysters dressed in Tabasco, red wine vinegar and shallot or a crab/ lobster soup. The acidity of the wine makes it a good pairing with light meat poultry in a wine-based garlic sauce.
