Tasting Notes
Our 2022 Handmade Chardonnay is a great example of what winemakers strive for. This wine is the ideal blend of fruit and creaminess, with intentional depth and brightness. Baked pear, vanilla, baking spice, apple and butterscotch aromas are dashed with a bit of lemon zest. 50% malolactic fermentation adds texture to the wine that is perfectly balanced with peach salinity and a clean finish. Enjoy with sea scallops or Camembert cheese.

Our Handmade Chardonnay is made from fruit from Carneros. This wine shows the clarity and structure typical of this cooler climate site. The juice was fermented with cultured yeast and aged in French and American oak barrels (50% new) for 16 months. Fifty percent malolactic fermentation and monthly bâtonnage brought additional richness and complexity to the palate.
