WINEMAKING NOTES:

From certified Organically and Biodynamically® grown grapes from selected blocks (clones 76 and 96) off our cool climate estate vineyard west of the Santa Rita Hills.  Sorted before whole-cluster pressing into Allier & Vosge French oak barrels, barrel-fermented, then placed through 100% malo-lactic fermentation while resting on the lees for 10 months.  Bottled unfiltered.

WINE CHEMISTRIES:

Total Acidity: .77g/100 ml

TASTING NOTES:

This medium-bodied barrel-fermented Chardonnay displays lush baked spiced apple aromas followed by hazelnut and mineral elements, giving way to buttery, toasty spice background.
