TASTING NOTE:

2014 was another classic vintage. A mild winter and spring caused an early bud break followed by consistent temperatures throughout the summer, promoting even ripening. We had ample hang time which in turn yielded intense varietal character and a rich texture. We press whole grape clusters for phenolic delicacy. Native-yeast and full native malolactic fermentation take place in barrel, with sur lies bâtonnage. After aging 20 months in 31.5% new Taransaud and François Frères French oak barrels, this Chardonnay was fined and settled in tank. It was then bottled without filtration.
