The grapes for this wine were handpicked at sunrise and came straight to the
winery, where they were whole cluster pressed, using a slow “champagne”
cycle that gently pushes the must rendering clean juice but few solids.
Winemaker Ana Diogo-Draper placed 100% of the juice into French oak
barrels (50% new) specifically coopered for Artesa Chardonnay. After
primary fermentation, 80% of the wine went through malolactic fermentation
and then aged on its lees for ten months. The wines were tasted weekly and
racked once prior to bottling.
