The must was chilled to 55 degrees Farenheit and cold soaked for four to six days. According to traditional methods, punch-downs are performed daily and by hand. After fermentation, the wine was pressed off directly into French oak barrels, where it underwent malo-lactic fermentation and was aged for 11 months on the lees. <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Technical Notes: </span><br> <table style= border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Appellation:</td> <td><a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/santa-cruz-mountains.html"target=_new>Santa Cruz Mountains</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Production:</td> <td> 807 Cases </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Alcohol:</td> <td>14.5% </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Aging:</td> <td>11 months in (50% new) French oak </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <br> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/?category=194" style="text-decoration: none; color: #a60000; font-weight: bold;" target=_top> Return to Alfaro Family wine list</a> </P> <P> <LI>Please Note: <b>Case Discount: 10%</b> </P> <P><B>Other products in the winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Category194" TITLE="Alfaro Family Vineyards">Alfaro Family Vineyards</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1229 TITLE="Alfaro Family Vineyards 2005 Chardonnay, Estate">Alfaro Family Vineyards 2005 Chardonnay, Estate</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/santa-cruz-mountains.html"target=_new>Santa Cruz Mountains</a> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1475 TITLE="Alfaro Family Vineyards 2006 Chardonnay, Lindsay Paige Vineyard"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/alfaro-chard-06[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Alfaro Family Vineyards 2006 Chardonnay, Lindsay Paige Vineyard" NAME="Alfaro Family Vineyards 2006 Chardonnay, Lindsay Paige Vineyard" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1475 TITLE="Alfaro Family Vineyards 2006 Chardonnay, Lindsay Paige Vineyard">Alfaro Family Vineyards 2006 Chardonnay, Lindsay Paige Vineyard</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/santa-cruz-mountains.html"target=_new>Santa Cruz Mountains</a> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1230 TITLE="Alfaro Family Vineyards 2005 Pinot Noir, Lindsay Paige Vineyard">Alfaro Family Vineyards 2005 Pinot Noir, Lindsay Paige Vineyard</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/santa-cruz-mountains.html"target=_new>Santa Cruz Mountains</a> </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron" TITLE="Appellation America Products">Appellation America Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://wine.appellationamerica.com">Appellation America</A> <BR>Appellation America <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
