2021 Estate Chardonnay

WINEMAKER NOTES

Our Old Wente Clone, Montrachet Clone and Clone 809 vineyard blocks provided the fruit for this wine. The grapes were harvested on September 11 and were whole-cluster pressed. The juice underwent native yeast fermentation and was aged in French oak for 11 months to increase the complexity and rich depth of the wine while still retaining the delicate fruit components.

VINEYARD NOTES

TASTING NOTES

The 2021 Estate Chardonnay warmly welcomes you with enchanting aromas of toasted almonds, fragrant apple crisp, and invigorating, spicy undertones. Upon tasting, the palate reveals its sumptuously soft nature, adorned with the crispness of ripe stone fruit, enhanced by a hint of zesty citrus and the allure of pain bénit. As you savor this remarkable wine, the finish unfolds elegantly, stretching out in a lengthy and radiant manner.
