Winemaking Notes:
The 2021 harvest in the Arroyo Seco was a long cool growing season; the extended hang time helped create rich and developed flavors in Chardonnay while maintaining a crisp and fresh palate.
Free-run juice from individual vineyard blocks was fermented separately.
The wine was aged for 10 months in a mix of new (20%) and seasoned (80%) American & French oak barrels on the lees, with regular stirring, adding complexity and a creamy texture.
The wine then went through secondary malolactic fermentation, adding rich, buttery characteristics.
Other Notes:
Vineyards: Suter, Twin Oaks, Zanetta
Bouquet: Aromas of crème brûlée and rich tropical fruit
Palate: Elegant, rich, balanced
Finish: A touch of buttered toast and fresh diced pineapple
