Pre­dom­i­nate­ly sourced from our organ­i­cal­ly cer­ti­fied Whale Rock vine­yard, this Chardon­nay gets a good bal­ance of crisp fruit fla­vors. A blend of cool­er Tem­ple­ton Gap fruit with our warmer east­side fruit cre­ates a love­ly col­lage of rich fla­vors and aro­mas of green apple, ripe pear, and sweet peach.

This Chardon­nay was con­struct­ed to strike a per­fect bal­ance; half of this vin­tage was bar­rel fer­ment­ed and aged in 20% new oak for 8 months. We used a com­bi­na­tion of 40% French and 60% Amer­i­can oak for this par­tic­u­lar vin­tage. This wine was then blend­ed with the oth­er half of the lot that was fer­ment­ed in stain­less steel. The wine under­went mal­o­lac­tic fer­men­ta­tion and the result­ing wine main­tained good acid.
