Product Description
WINEMAKING NOTE
Each Chardonnay lot is kept separate throughout the aging process for this flagship wine. Aftersending the fruit directly to press, the juice is fermented in 100 % French oak barrels for 10 months to enhance the natural richness in the wine. Weekly lees stirring enhanced the toasty notes and integrated the oak flavors for an overall balance. The wine is barrel fermented, and all the wine was put through malolactic fermentation to encourage a lush creaminess. After ten months aging, the most expressive lots are chosen and blended to create a richly layered wine
wine score
96 points James Suckling
“Freshly squeezed nectarines, dried jasmine, orange blossom, vanilla, peach flan, dried mangoes, jack fruit and plenty of bread dough. Full body, a very round and oily mouthfeel, expansive and commanding acidity and a long finish. Drink now or hold.” - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, May 2019
