Wine Flight
ALTA ORSA Hafner Vineyard Chardonnay 2020
Mineral aromas in the wet granite spectrum followed by hints of flamed orange peel and oyster brine. The palate is voluminous without a heavy viscosity as it is balanced by a crisp acid profile. Well integrated flavors of lemon zest and crème brûlée, with a long flinty finish.
ORSA Rosé of Pinot Noir 2021
Provençal style Rosé leads with aromatic elegance of orange blossoms, grapefruit, and white peach. The delicate minerality is accompanied by flavors of grapefruit and rose water. Carries all natural acidity one would expect from a direct-to-press Rosé and a hint of salinity.
ALTA ORSA Slusser Ranch Pinot Noir 2020
Displays aromatic notes of clove, nutmeg, fresh cranberries, fraise-des-bois, and forest floor. The light palate holds a firm frame of fine-grained tannins and perfumed flavors dark cherry cola and white pepper, through the long complex finish.

About the Winery
Located in Hopland, CA Alta Orsa is the story of land, the vision and labor of their small team — led by their winemaker Martin Bernal-Hafner. The core chapter of their story is centered on a holistic approach to farming. As stewards of this 160-acre mountain property, they tend to 12-acres of hillside vineyards with regenerative organic practices — treating their soils as a living ecosystem and nature as our partner. Patience, observation, science, and experimentation guide their approach. Since the planting of their high-density vineyard in the late 1980s, they have practiced no-till farming, minimal organic sprays, cover cropping, no tractors between the rows, and no herbicides under the vine. They sincerely believe this philosophy preserves the unique sense of place and leads to wines that are classic, elegant, and worth laying down.
