Wine Making:

Our Chardonnay is picked a t the peak of ripeness during night and is brought cold to the winery in the very early hours. Grapes are loaded directly t o press and allowed to cold settle for 48 hours before racking directly to small French Oak barrels. Grapes are then fermented t o dryness where they go through secondary malolactic fermentation i n the barrel. We stir the lees once a week during the aging process to build mouthfeel and richness.

Flavor Profile:

Aromas o f golden apple and lemon peel with hints o f sweet vanilla and spice. Rich and creamy mouthfeel with balanced acidity and lingering finish.

Appellation Notes:
