Dark Horse Chardonnay

The Dark Horse Chardonnay 2022 is produced using grapes sourced from selected California vineyards. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures (55-62°F or 56°-64°F) with carefully chosen aromatic yeasts to enhance fruit notes. The wine undergoes aging on oak or in oak, which imparts complexity and mouthfeel, while some portions may be aged in stainless steel to preserve acidity. Harvest occurs at optimal ripeness during cooler parts of the day. Some winemaking processes may include malolactic fermentation and 'sur lie' aging.
