Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This vintage opens with an inviting nose of juicy red apple, lychee, dried stone fruit, and subtle hints of tropical fruit. The palate begins with bright citrus notes, followed by a wave of crisp apple and vibrant acidity that carries through seamlessly. A delicate touch of pear lingers on the finish, adding elegance and refinement to the overall experience.
Winemaker Notes
All of the UnOaked Chardonnay had an overnight skin contact soaking before pressing to control acidity with a cold stainless steel fermentation (between 60f and 63f) to retain esters, i.e., brightness, minerality and exotic fruit elements.
