Onward Wines are single-vineyard, site-driven wines.
- Winemaker: Faith Armstrong
- Farming: Organic practicing
- Grape Varieties: Malvasia
- Terroir: Capp Inn Ranch sits at 180 ft elevation in the windy Suisun Valley. The soil is Brentwood Series which is clay loam, which drains well, yet retains moisture keeping it available to the vines. The daytime temperatures are moderate, enough to ripen both Malvasia and Verdelho. Then the cool evening breeze arrives and drops the temperature, thus cooling the vines and retaining vibrancy in the fruit.
- Vinification: The Malvasia Bianca grapes were whole-cluster pressed and cold settled. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeast. The wine is bottled before fermentation ends, and fermentation finishes in bottle, creating soft bubbles.
- Tasting Notes: Night blooming jasmine, citrus blossom, melon rind, Makrut lime scones with preserved lemon‚ and a refreshing hint of sea air.
