Tasting Notes
Hand harvested, the fruit was chilled overnight and whole bunch pressed with the juice rundirectly to barrel, oxidatively handled, no additions except being inoculated with a selected yeast. The strain chosen for its expression of fruit purity. Fermentation and maturation for 10 months in four barriques, 50% new oak, all French.
Blossom, slate, citrus; lemon and lime, green apple and fresh pear. A pure fruit expression, the palate is energetic with refreshing acidity, a pithy texture and chalky finish. A delicious and compact young wine, a Chardonnay to cellar and watch its evolution over time. - Winemaker Note
