Our Native Yeast Chardonnay is drawn from one of the estate’s most prized vineyard blocks—an enclave of vines that consistently yield wines of quiet intensity and unmistakable character. Fermented exclusively with wild, native yeasts that reside in the vineyard itself, this wine evolves slowly, revealing a layered texture and nuanced expression of the Hyde–Old Wente clone. The vintage carries the imprint of its cool-climate origins: a refined minerality and vibrant struc-ture that speak less of winemaking and more of where it comes from.
