Vinicultural Society
Marsanne / 2022
Exhibiting a quintessential Marsanne bouquet, this wine presents notes of honeydew, quince, crushed rock, and a sweet nuance reminiscent of freshly harvested wheat. On the palate, it unfolds with a soft and delectable character, revealing flavors that evoke the essence of vanilla custard, chamomile tea, candied lemon peel, and a subtle chalky minerality. With a medium-bodied profile, it exudes refinement and prettiness. While its current appeal suggests many may indulge in its charms early, the anticipation lies in its potential evolution, promising an interesting metamorphosis over at least a decade.

The grapes for this Marsanne were harvested on September 29, 2022, from Sonoma Valley in Sonoma County. The moderately cool climate found in the Sonoma Valley AVA allows for a longer growing season which in turn, helps maximize flavors and increase concentration while, the cooler temperatures, preserve the grapes’ natural acidity. The grapes were fermented with native yeast before being aged in neutral French oak barrels.
The Buena Vista Vinicultural Society was formed in 1863 by the winery’s founder, Count Agoston Haraszthy, to further improve its winemaking prowess and expand its vineyards. The Vinicultural Society has been restored as a collection of unique small-production wines that honor the winery’s pioneering spirit and contribution to California winemaking. The collection of wines explores clonal selections, varietals and the incredible terroir of Northern California.
