Palate
A fruit forward Chardonnay with just a touch of oak, lending to its layers of complexity, smooth finish, and full mouthfeel.
Growing Conditions
Our 2019 harvest got underway about two weeks later than normal, due to the season’s cool, wet spring. July and August heat helped to accelerate vine development, and we were fortunate that the fall months allowed for
extended hang time to bring the sugar content into balance with the acidity levels.
Harvest
Fruit for the 2019 Reserve Chardonnay was sourced from vineyard blocks 24 & 37, and was initially fermented in a combination of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks.
Bottling
August 25, 2020, Cork seal
Limited quantity, Library Wine. Club membership required for access.
Winemaking
A blend of both Stainless Steel and barrel lots. Individual barrel lots were then selected and blended with the stainless fermented component to produce a rich final blend.
Aging
Barrel lots were aged primarily in older American Oak for 8 months.
Appearance
Pale yellow
Food Pairing
Ideal with flavorful seafood, poultry or pork dishes.
