WINERY NOTES:

TASTING: “AROMA - Green apple, lime zest, white flower; FLAVOR - Mineral, quince, candied lemon peel; FOOD PAIRINGS - Shrimp & grits, fried cod, chicken w/ mustard sauce”

WINEMAKING: “The fruit was hand-harvested in late August/early September and foot tread before being whole cluster pressed. The juice was fermented in 100% stainless steel and aged on the lees for 14-months. A gentle cross-flow filtration was done prior to bottling. (It's an) homage to the mouthwatering wine that inspired it: Louis Michel Chablis.”

VINEYARDS & VINTAGE: “This wine is composed of several vineyards in the cooler western regions of Sonoma County. While each site is distinct, they share a common commitment to sustainable horticulture and strident farming. Our intention for this wine is to express the unique character of this region. Warm days and cool nights, tempered by consistent oceanic fog, yield nuanced Chardonnays balanced by brisk acidity.”
