DESCRIPTION
Located on the historic Silverado Trail in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District, Black Stallion Estate Winery pays homage to the rich history of the 32-acre estate which was once home to the Silverado Equestrian Center. The property was purchased in 2010 by the Indelicato family, a fourth-generation family-owned company founded in 1924. Sourcing from the most prestigious vineyards, the winery is committed to making only the most expressive wines.
WINEMAKING
The fruit for this blend was handpicked during the cool, early morning hours to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors. Fruit clusters were gently pressed and settled for 24 hours; the clean juice was racked off the solids to a second tank to begin fermentation. The wine was transferred to small stainless steel tanks and fermented at low temperatures to retain the vibrant aromatics and bright acidity. This vintage is 100% stainless steel fermented with no malolactic fermentation. Our winemaker added a small amount of bright, mineral Albariño, elegant, full-bodied Semillon and floral aromatic Muscat Canelli. This gives the blend complexity and a nice balance of tropical aromas and rich, creamy texture. The amazing viscosity in the mouthfeel is testament to the beautiful fruit quality in this wine.
