WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Chardonnay begins with grapes harvested at night to maintain coolness and optimal ripeness. The grape bunches are gently pressed, and the resulting must undergoes fermentation on French oak for one month. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 20 months in a combination of French and Hungarian oak barrels, with 47% of these being new. The winery is committed to sustainable farming practices and holds certification from the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance.
