Production Notes
The grapes were harvested in the very early hours of the morning so they would arrive to the winery cool. Once at the winery, the grapes went directly to press where the juice was gently pressed away from the skins. The juice was allowed to cold settle for two days before racking. The juice was inoculated with a Chardonnay specific yeast and allowed to ferment cool over 30 days. 100% of the wine was fermented in barrel to add rich mouthfeel and complexity. We inoculated half of the barrels for malolactic fermentation to help contribute to the creaminess. All barrels were hand stirred throughout malolactic fermentation, further adding to the roundness in the mouthfeel. This Chardonnay has 2% new French and American Oak impact.
