Acclaim:
89 Points, Wine Enthusiast, April, 2025.
85 Points, Wine Spectator, November, 2024.
Tasting Notes: Our 2023 Chardonnay is a bright white wine with hints of tropical fruit and a whisper of toasted oak and toffee. Aromas of banana and lemongrass meet layers of crisp apple and pear. The finish is clean with a touch of Meyer lemon zest.
Winemaking Notes: The grapes for this wine were harvested at optimum ripeness. To create vibrant flavor characteristics, we conducted fermentation at low-to moderate temperatures from 55°-62°F with carefully selected aromatic yeast. Post fermentation, the wine was stored in stainless steel tanks to preserve brightness and balance.
