The variety of growing sites adds layers of ripeness, fruit flavors and complexity.Grape Varieties100% ChardonnayVinificationFruit was hand-sorted and gently whole cluster pressed. The juice was settled off the heavy lees and split between stainless steel and barrel fermentation to highlight flavors. Fermented between 65-72°F with mostly native yeasts, followed by lees aging and light lees stirring for 4 months.ColorGold with green tints.BouquetPronounced lemon citrus core with tree fruits of pear and crisp apple lined with a floral note of jasmine.TasteCitrus and tree fruits are complemented by a hint of brioche and toast.
