Varietal Chardonnay
Cepage 100% Chardonnay
Winemaking The grapes were hand-harvested at night to preserve their quality and natural acidity. They were then gently pressed as whole clusters, with 25% of the juice placed in stainless steel tanks and the rest in French oak barrels. The juice underwent low-temperature fermentation to retain its intense aromas, with 100% native fermentation. After primary fermentation, around 60% of the lots underwent malolactic fermentation, and they were aged on lees for 9 months. Finally, the wine was racked once before bottling. This Estate Vineyard Chardonnay is entirely produced at the winery.

The Character
Overall Fresh, vibrant Carneros Chardonnay with layered complexity
Aromas Notes of lemon citrus and white blossom
Mouthfeel Fruit flavors of citrus and stone fruit
Tasting Notes An elegantly restrained wine with Meyer lemon and white blossom aromas, a hint of lemongrass, and a silky, balanced oak touch. It ends with crisp acidity and notes of Honeycrisp apple, stone fruit, and vanilla. It's enjoyable now but will develop finesse and complexity until 2030.
Selling Point Fresh, vibrant Carneros Chardonnay with layered complexity
Pairings Perfect with seafood, fresh salads, herb chicken, creamy pasta, and soft cheeses like brie.
