Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine came from our Estate Eagle & Plow Vineyard in the acclaimed Horse Heaven Hills.
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 the press where the juice was gently pressed away from the skins. The juice was allowed to cold settle for two days before racking off the lees. The juice was inoculated with a Chardonnay specific yeast and allowed to ferment cool over 30 days. 100% of this wine was fermented in barrel to add rich mouthfeel and complexity. We inoculated a portion of the barrels for malolactic fermentation to help contribute to the creamy mouthfeel while preserving the bright natural acidity. All the barrels were hand stirred throughout malolactic fermentation, further adding to the roundness. This Chardonnay was aged in 100% New French oak for 10 months.
