Description
Chardonnay’s true personality shines through this suprising wine. Elegant and subtle on the nose, the Unoaked Chardonnay slowly reveals notes of lemon curd, river stones, and sage. Upon first sip, one is engulfed in juicy red apple, pineapple, kiwi, and lychee, harmonized by firm acid and rounded finish.
No oak, no malolactic conversion. Pure Chardonnay. Grapes for this wine are hand harvested from the middle of the night to the early morning. Upon arrival, this Chardonnay is whole cluster pressed using a champagne style press cycle, in order to minimize bitter phenolics. After 2 days of settling, juice is racked and inoculated for fermentation which takes about 30 days to complete, held at a constant 53 to 55 degrees. Lees mixing in tank is conducted once per week until January, at which point final settling begins. Additional time in tank allows for the Unoaked Chardonnay to further develop flavors which tend to be more round in emphasis.
Appellation: Russian River Valley, Sonoma, California
ABV: 14%
Varietals: 100% Chardonnay
Aging: 10 months in stainless steel
