100% Chardonnay

Alcohol

13.4%

Winemaking Notes

Barrel fermented in 20% new and 80% used French oak at low temperature (<64 F) for 18 days to preserve aromatic esters. Bi-weekly bâtonnage for 8 months, and aged on original lees for 16 months to build body and mouthfeel. 0% Maloactic fermentation.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of fresh pear, lemon rind, apricot, and brioche bun. On the palate, honeyed stone fruits and citrus, toasted macadamia nuts lend length and subtle creaminess to the finish.
