Description
The Eisele Vineyard is one of Napa most historic and revered wine growing sites, with a history going back to the 1880s and became world-renowned under Joseph Phelps and then late the Araujo family, before ultimately being acquired by the Pinault family, Chateau Latour’s owners. It is under their stewardship that the Eisele Estate’s reputation for precision and meticulous winemaking, with a renewed focus on biodynamic farming is upheld. Altagracia is the second wine of the estate, being sourced predominantly from the eastern parcels with differing soils and aspect, with the inclusion of purchased fruit. Crafted with the same careful attention as the first wine, this wine differs both in source and style as Altagracia is generally a blend of Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, and Petit Verdot. It is this blending that makes Altagracia more approachable in its youth, offering aromas of Cassis, black plums, violets, thyme, sage, all framed by soft supple tannins with fresh acidity. Food Pairings: roasted rack of lamb, duck breast, steak and mushroom dishes.
