Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This Chardonnay greets the senses with delicate floral blossoms and crisp green apple, un-folding into layers of juicy stone fruit and a touch of Madagascar vanilla bean. Bright green apple takes center stage on the palate, beautifully woven with subtle oak for a harmonious, full-bodied experience. The mid-palate reveals hints of ripe peach and fragrant florals, leading to a creamy, elegant finish that lingers with finesse.
Winemaker Notes
This hand harvested Chardonnay was handled in small 10 ton lots (one press load) at a time. 100% of the Chardonnay grapes were pressed as whole clusters, just as we do with sparkling wine. Frequent lees stirring or ’batonnage’, at least three times a week for at least seven months contributes to the complex flavors.
