Vineyard Notes: This OMP vineyard is at the southern edge of Old Mission Peninsula. The plants are digging into very dense clay and gravel packed layers. The site is warm and tends to produce small clusters that struggle in the sparse conditions. The Antrim vineyard is a silt dominant site. It sits on the Kalkaska shale and is going to be a significant site as it ages. The Leelanau vineyard is amidst the Sleeping Bear Dunes and carries all the bright fresh acidity we expect from sandy soils.
Tasting Notes: Expect aromas and flavors of lime zest, mineral, sea spray, and quince. This wine shows balanced acidity, true vineyard flavor and vintage transparency. Pair it up with salt, cream and anything savory.
