From select blocks within our Los Carneros vineyard, nestled along the San Pablo Bay, we craft this exceptional, non-sparkling Chardonnay.
The shallow clay soils and foggy maritime climate encourage slow ripening, yielding a bright Chardonnay with a harmonious balance of citrus and mineral notes.
In the cellar, Winemaker, Pauline relies on a minimalist approach, allowing the purity of the varietal to express its unique character with a subtle touch of French Oak. This medium-bodied wine offers concentrated richness and zesty brightness, showcasing medium-intense notes of preserved lemon, minerality, pineapple, vanilla, and coconut flake, culminating in a long, textured finish.
Preserved lemon, minerality, pineapple, vanilla, coconut flake
Grapes are harvested at night to keep the fruit cool and preserve freshness. Harvest begins in late August, early September when optimal ripeness and flavor development have been achieved.
Chardonnay grapes are pressed releasing the juice from the skins. The juice ferments in French oak barrels.
Chardonnay goes through 100% malolactic fermentation in the French oak barrels, softening the wines’ acidity creating a full, creamy mouth feel. Chardonnay is then aged 18-20 months imparting vanilla and toast character into the finished wine.
The wine is then bottled and aged on the cork a minimum of 6 months, and then it’s ready to enjoy!
