WINEMAKING NOTES - After harvesting, Chardonnay grapes were whole cluster pressed into stainless steel tanks for cold settling at 30 degrees. The juice was then racked off the heavy lees into French oak barrels (26%) and stainless-steel tanks (74%) for fermentation. The barrel fermented portion saw eight months of sur lie aging and the barrels were stirred monthly during the first three months to enhance the creamy nature of the wine. The blend was assembled in June of 2024, then heat and cold stabilized in stainless steel tanks before bottling in September of 2024.

TASTING NOTES - Beautiful golden hue with bright tropical notes on the nose. This wine shows a harmonious balance of the warm climate melons and tropical flavors and the crisp acidity and lemon zest of cool climate. The wine entry is clean and crisp, the mid palate weight showing layered tropical and honey dew flavors finishing again to clean and crisp and a desire for another sip.
