Description | Our focused Chardonnay features classic flavours from the cool, fog-cloaked vineyards of the Russian River Valley. Notes of ripe green apple, citrus and pear on the rich, round palette blend seamlessly with hints of tropical fruit, cream and vanilla on the lingering finish. |
Vinification | A wet winter contributed to an early bud break. Cooler temperatures in spring balanced by damp weather prevented the threat of frost. The summer went without incident until a damp and grey August kept our vineyard crew active in thinning and pulling leaves to keep the fruit clean. In the final weeks leading up to harvest sunny warm days allowed the fruit to hang on the vines and ripen cleanly, maintaining the crisp acidity and bright fruit characteristics. |
