This is the first time that winemaker Gio Balistreri has made a single vineyard wine of clone 828, yet this wine is anything but simple.

Valley’s Hand Vineyard, set in the bowl of the hills on Highway 12 near Kunde in Kenwood, is the vineyard that produces the grapes for this popular dry white that makes you think of ukulele music with each sip.
