WINE MAKING PROCESS
The District 7 Chardonnay begins with grapes harvested in the early morning based on specific ripeness parameters. In the winery, the fruit is sorted and crushed before undergoing cold fermentation in small lots. The wine is then aged for 10 months, with 70% maturing in stainless steel tanks and the remaining 30% in new French oak barrels. Scheid Family Wines utilizes certified sustainable estate vineyards and operates a winery powered by renewable wind energy.
