WINEMAKERS’ TASTING NOTES

Wine Information
With grapes sourced from the renowned Edna Valley, this
Chardonnay exhibits all of the traits that make Chardonnay so
justly famous
VINEYARDS
The grapes for this wine are sourced from California’s famed Edna Valley.
Characterized by its cool, constant temperatures, Edna Valley is an ideal
location for the production of premium white wines. The long, cool growing
season allows for an extended ripening period which enables the development
of intense varietal flavors.
WINEMAKING
The fruit was harvested on October 1 after a steady growing season. After
destemming and gentle pressing, the fruit was fermented in a combination of
New French oak barrels (60%) and 1 year French oak barrels (40%). The barrelfermented
portion set the tone
with texture and complexity, while the stainless steel portion was cold
fermented at 50 degrees over an extended period of 20 days to capture an
abundance of pure aromas. Bâttonage, or lees stirring, was performed on the
barrel-fermented lot for several months to elevate the sense of palate
creaminess.
