Tasting Notes

The Estate Chardonnay is an approachable yet refined Chardonnay that entices with fresh, bright vibrant green apple on the nose. Meyer lemon and hints of salinity leads to bright and fresh acidity on the palate. Enjoy now in its youth or cellar through 2029.

Food Pairing Notes

Pair with a roasted beet, fennel, and goat cheese salad.

Vineyard Notes

These grapes come from both Tierra Sandy Loam and Salinas Clay Loam – low to moderate vigor soils that produce vines with balanced canopy and fruit growth. Capable of producing very high-quality wines that can be enjoyed young. Hand picked at night then meticulously sorted. Whole cluster pressed, we take the juice directly to barrel without settling the juice which can add weight and complexity to the wine. We do not add any yeast, allowing this wine to ferment using the native yeast on the grapes. We stir the lees by hand twice weekly during fermentation and twice a month during the extended malolactic fermentation. We age the wine on the lees in French oak barriques for 8 months then rack to  tank for an additional 3 months before bottling.
