Varietal Chardonnay

Cepage 100% Chardonnay

Winemaking Chardonnay is an excellent conductor of “terroir” and notoriously amplifies winemaking decisions. We like to vary the ripeness levels to coax different profiles from each our sites and we are very careful with the barrels we choose to let them help structure and season the wine, but not dominate the character of the Chardonnay sites. The wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts and kept on their lees for 9-10 months. A small amount of sulfur is added the following spring after malolactic fermentation, and the wines are kept on their lees until a month or so before bottling.

The Character

Overall A balanced triumph of dense flavor and lithe weight

Aromas A deeply intoxicating melange of floral chamomile, quince, and flint

Tasting Notes We truly couldn’t be more pleased with the 2024 vintage. The aromatics quickly draw you in and are bathed in a deeply intoxicating melange of floral chamomile, quince, and a hint of flint. The palate delivers both power in flavor density and seamless weight that carries all the way through. The textural balance is spot on this vintage, a trait we believe defines our wines. Drink up and enjoy now or wait a few months or years to taste what should be a splendid evolution.

The Story

Chardonnay is an excellent conductor of “terroir” and notoriously amplifies winemaking decisions. The key, for us, is to find balance in ripeness and fermenting temperatures to allow the wine to truly channel the vintage and site. We like to vary the ripeness levels to coax different profiles from each of our sites and we are very careful with the barrels we choose to let them help structure and season the wine, but not dominate the character of the Chardonnay sites.
