Product details
Silverado Vineyards Carneros Chardonnay "Napa Valley"
In 1981, Ron and Diane Miller established Silverado Vineyards in the heart of Stags Leap District. Over the years, they expanded their estate to include six distinctive vineyards in the Napa Valley and Carneros. The beautiful fruit from these ranches is the exclusive source of Silverado Vineyards’ Estate and Single Vineyard wines.
Winemaking Notes :
Average sugar at harvest, 22.1 Brix. One hundred percent of the juice was barrel fermented; 78 percent in 60 gallon French oak barrels and 22% in 75 gallon stainless steel barrels. Aged for six months in barrel; factoring in s/s portion overall percentage of new oak in blend is 26 percent. Oak barrels were stirred once a week and stainless steel barrels were stirred twice a week for the entire barrel aging time. Forty three percent of blend completed malolactic fermentation.
