Aromas of citrus and pear with delightful,
juicy fruit on the palate and a mouthwateringly sweet finish.
A light lemon color is an indicator of the fresh-from-the orchard characteristics in our 2022 Unoaked Chardonnay. Aromatics of fresh pear and Granny Smith apple mingle with a note of ginger and orange blossom. Juicy melon, with a little apple-tartness in the finish bring summer to mind. The mouth-feel is expansive with a balance of crispness and creaminess.
Grapes were picked early to preserve acidity, then lightly pressed, with the juice settling for 3 days. The juice was then fermented in stainless steel and aged on the lees (spent yeast) for 4 months. Malolactic fermentation was prevented to preserve the wine’s natural acidity.
With this vintage we’ve gone for smooth and medium-bodied, with rich flavors of black cherry, plum, and soft spice. Balanced tannins and a velvety finish make it approachable and food-friendly. It is an excellent choice for everyday enjoyment or pairing with pasta, roasted meats, or hearty cheeses.
Each variety is picked separately at low brix and good natural acidity. Destemmed and fermented at cool temperatures in both rotary and stainless steel closed top tanks. The average time of skin contact is 14-16 days before pressing into stainless steel. THe wine is kept cold and only minimal sulfur is added before bottling.
