Crisp scents of honey crisp, pear and lemongrass picking up scents of white flowers and vanilla fleck with a mineral, rain-on-rock vivacity.

Winemaking Notes
3 tons of chardonnay were harvested into 1/2 ton bins from our 1.28-acre chardonnay vineyard early morning on October 4th. A light foot treading is performed before going whole-cluster into the press. without settling to a mixture of vessels including new puncheon, 'cigare' barrels and new, one-year, and neutral 228's French oak barrels, and one stainless steel. Each vessel undergoes ambient fermentation and ages 10 months during which 75% undergoes malolactic fermentation. Lightly filtered at bottling.
