Clean Slate is named after the unique, thin slate stones found within these vineyards. The stones are so precious that should any slip into the river, they are carefully retrieved and carried back up the treacherously steep vineyard slopes and returned to their place. Slate soil reflects and retains heat which is essential for ripening grapes in this cool climate. The resulting wine has a clean, mineral-driven profile. Clean Slate is incredibly versatile and pairs with a wide range of cuisines. Its bright acidity and citrus notes are the ideal complement to seafood and sushi, while its delicate freshness soothes spicy dishes.
