Winemaker Notes
100% Chardonnay from 30 – 50-year-old sustainably-farmed vines, the grapes are hand-picked, pressed whole-cluster, and fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks. Aged primarily in tank, but 10% of the wine was aged in older French oak barrels on the fine lees. The wine was blended and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Pale straw hue. Aromas of green apples, Asian pears, and a hint of fresh herbs. Thirst-quenching and balanced, the palate shows yellow apple skin, pears, stone fruit, and ripe lemons. The finish is bright, juicy, and laced with crushed stones. Pair with fresh salads, shellfish (oysters or clams) or roasted chicken with fresh herbs.
