WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Locatour Creamy Chardonnay 2021 is produced by Delicato Family Vineyards. While specific technical details are limited, the 'Creamy Chardonnay' designation indicates winemaking choices aimed at achieving a rich and smooth texture. This likely involves techniques such as malolactic fermentation, which converts malic acid to lactic acid, contributing buttery notes and softening the wine's profile. Aging, potentially in oak barrels, is also suggested by the wine's character, which would impart further complexity and textural elements. The grapes are sourced from Delicato's vineyards across California, a region known for its favorable conditions for Chardonnay cultivation.
