WINE DETAILS

This coferment is made from 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay, sourced inland from a vineyard in the Cienega Valley. The grapes are fermented with half whole cluster fruit and native yeasts before aging on the lees for 6 months in stainless steel.

Florèz Wines

Florèz Wines was founded by James Jelks in 2017. Born in Santa Cruz and raised in Davis, California, Jelks is a West Coast kid. After a decade of wine fascination, attending the UC Davis E&V program, and working worldwide, Jelks set his sights on producing wines in Santa Cruz county.

At Florèz Wines, they embrace old world technique and sensibility. Everything begins with the vineyards and the best quality grapes.

Some of the vineyards they are farming themselves using organic practices, and dry farming management. To supplement, they source fruit from organically and sustainably farmed vineyards. They work to stay as local as possible to the Santa Cruz area.

Florèz follows through with astute craftsmanship utilizing native yeasts, eschewing additives, racking well but never filtering, a carefully monitored élevage without sulfur and sur lie, and bottling with minimal effective sulfur or less.

Always in pursuit of improvement, Florèz hopes to deliver wines of pleasure and ease on the body.
