Beskrivelse
INTRODUCTION
Celebrated for its world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Russian River Valley’s cool climate fosters slow, even ripening, resulting in fruit with remarkable depth and complexity. Originally planted to Pinot Noir, in 2015, we grafted a two-acre block to Chardonnay, embracing the region’s potential for producing exceptional white wines. The vineyard’s loamy, sandy soils, naturally rich in acidity, provide the ideal foundation for crafting beautifully balanced and vibrant Chardonnays.
WINEMAKER NOTES
Light to medium straw in color, this Chardonnay opens with bright aromas of crisp apple and lemon, evolving into layers of caramel and toasted hazelnut with aeration. The palate reveals notes of white peach, green apple, and white pepper, with a touch of wet river stone, leading to a long, complex finish.
