✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted from the dramatic, wind-swept slopes of the Sta. Rita Hills, Paul Lato's 'Stand By Me' Pinot Noir is sourced from the steep, challenging terrain of the Drum Canyon Vineyard. Planted on extreme hillsides exposed to intense maritime winds and fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean, the vines struggle in sandy, diatomaceous soils, yielding tiny, highly concentrated berries. The evocative name 'Stand By Me' reflects Lato's deeply personal, emotional approach to winemaking, drawing inspiration from classic music and cinema to celebrate loyalty, friendship, and enduring quality. In the cellar, Lato employs minimal intervention, utilizing native yeast fermentation and aging in select French oak barrels to preserve the vineyard's signature high-toned red fruit, exotic spices, and vibrant mineral tension. The resulting wine is celebrated for its remarkable energy, structural integrity, and velvety textural elegance.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten

Med udgangspunkt i en kompromisløs, håndværksmæssig og minimalistisk vinfremstilling, hvor terroirets renhed og balance er i højsædet, samarbejder Lato med nogle af Central Coasts mest prestigefyldte kølige vinmarker, herunder Bien Nacido, Solomon Hills og Larner. Vingården høster stor international anerkendelse for sine intenst aromatiske, teksturerede og nuancerede Pinot Noir-, Syrah-, Grenache- og Chardonnay-vine i mikrolodder, som roses for deres rene frugtudtryk, strukturelle præcision og karakteristiske, poetiske cuvée-navne.
