A single barrel is one cask, bottled exactly as it was found. Nothing blended in to round it out, nothing to average away a rough edge. Whatever happened during the time in cask is carried into the bottle - that is the beauty of a single barrel. It is also why most casks never go out this way.
But this one was obscenely delicious, so it became a single barrel.
Six months in a Château Pape Clément barrel from Bordeaux. Third fill - two batches of our Héritage Blanco had rested there before it. By the third fill, there was less wine and less barrel to speak of. What remained of the barrel was subtler: a little structure, a little softness & roundness, and enough room for the agave to say what it wanted to.
We pulled it after 6 months and then we let it rest a full year before bottling. Everything integrated. The agave's still shining, the wood settled in behind it, and the whole thing got rounder.
45% ABV. 234 bottles.
