Analytical Data
Wine Production
The grapes are harvested in the cool of the night once the grapes have reached optimum sugar and flavor equilibrium. Whole berry pressed and fermented between 59 - 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Post primary fermentation, the wine is left on fine lees throughout and after malolactic fermentation, stirred weekly to increase mouthfeel and creaminess and protect the wine from oxidation. The wine is bottled after only a couple of months aging in stainless steel tanks to preserve the beautiful fruit flavors.
About the Vineyard
The grapes used to craft Paxton NOW Chardonnay are grown in the Thomas Block vineyard.
