2022 Chardonnay

The fruit was whole cluster pressed, the juice clarified and the majority of the wine was fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures to preserve the aromas. A small portion of the wine was fermented in new French oak in order to add only a hint of oak without overpowering the fruit. The barrel portion was stirred on the lees to add complexity to the wine. The wine only went through a partial Malolactic conversion in order to preserve its acidity and fruit. The result is layers of complexity with a textural mouth feel. The fruit was preserved with only hints of oak.
