The Philosophy:

Gofessel Vineyards is dedicated to producing Burgundian-style estate wines from fruit meticulously cultivated in beautiful Sonoma, California. We take pride in organically cultivating the land to sustainably produce the highest quality fruit. From this fruit, we handcraft elegant and distinctive wines that honor the local region and terroir.

The Vineyard:

Gofessel Vineyards Estate is the located in the North West corner of the Sonoma Carneros AVA where the vineyards are ideally suited for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Under the mindful eye of organic guru Phil Coturri, we cultivate from just over 3.5 acres of organically farmed vineyards. The Chardonnay vineyard was planted in 2003 and the Pinot Noir vineyard was planted in 2008.

Tasting Notes:

“Lilu” is a crisp, clean white wine that is both strong in fruit, yet delicate in acidity and oak. Grapes grown from the fire of the afternoon sun, the cool morning winds of Pacific, the fresh irrigation water of the Mayacamas and the unique earth of Carneros combine to produce this fifth element - a supreme wine. “Her” construction is mul-ti-pass; handpicked whole cluster pressed fruit aged in New French Oak and stainless, meticulously blended.

Simply, she is perfect and we believe she is here to return hope to those who enjoy the purity of the white wines of the Earth. Please enjoy her divine light but senno ecto gammat.
