Analytical Data
Wine Production
The grapes are whole-cluster pressed to stainless steel tanks for overnight settling. The juice is then racked to barrels for fermentation by native yeasts and malolactic conversion proceeded naturally during aging, while lees-stirring contributes to enhanced mouthfeel. After being aged for 17 months in 7% new French oak, barrels are hand-selected to assemble the final blend before bottling.
About the Vineyard
Our Finest Selection Chardonnay is a partnership amongst the best vineyards within the Russian River Valley. The cool, foggy Russian River Valley climate develops ideal characteristics in the grapes that contribute to this distinctive Chardonnay.
