Aromas of tropical fruits, citrus, hazelnut, spice, and toasty oak.
Its fresh acidity livens up the palate introducing flavors of pineapple, apricot, cream brulee, and sweet vanilla oak. Our Chardonnay offers a rich, silky, smooth texture on the palate that lengthens through to an elegant finish.
Bottling date June 20, 2014.
Our Chardonnay grapes were carefully selected and hand picked before dawn from our vineyard estate located in the heart of the Los Carneros appellation. Extra care was taken in the handling of the grapes to preserve the optimum flavor & varietal character by whole-cluster pressing in the cool early morning hours then barrel fermenting & aging the wine in premium French Burgundian oak barrels at our new state-of- the-art winery facility.
95% barrel fermented (58% new), 100% malo-lactic and sur lie
aged 9 months: 5% tank fermented with no mal-lactic
fermentation.
Aged for 10 months in Sirugue, Damy, Billon &
Tonnellerie Val du Loire barrels
The wine has a light gold color.
