With two outstanding vineyards from where we source our fruit, winemaking at August West is the least complicated part of the business. For the most part, Pinot Noir is fully destemmed and fermented in Tbins using a combination of ambient and cultured yeast strains. Our Syrahs are usually 50% destemmed and 50% whole cluster and are almost always inoculated with a cultured yeast strain. Chardonnays are whole cluster pressed and fermented in all French oak barrels using ambient yeasts in most years. Barrel aging lasts for 10 to 11 months for all three grape varieties. Pinot Noir takes the highest share of new French oak at approximately 40%, with Chardonnay and Syrah seeing larger amounts of one and two year old French oak barrels and less of the new wood.
