Tasting Notes
Aroma
Grilled pineapple, citrus blossom, tangerine, and papaya.
Maturation
Wine is matured in barrel for 4-5 months.
Palate
White peach, key lime, and honeydew melon are complimented
by a touch of barrel spice, and a river stone minerality.
Vinification
Fruit is sourced from all over the Monterey appellation. With different vineyards bringing
different flavors to the mix, including notes of green apple, lemon, peach, and pineapple.
Soils are predominantly free draining loams. When picked, the fruit is gently pressed,
followed by settling for 24 hours then racked to barrel for fermentation.
Vintage Notes
The Monterey region enjoyed a cool and wet winter which replenished both soil
moisture and reservoirs. The upshot of the cooler weather throughout the year was
extended hangtime, ripening proceeded very slowly throughout the growing season. A
high-quality harvest was quickly apparent with concentrated flavors, balanced acidity
and refined phenolic development being the norm. Our Chardonnay harvest began on
October 7th, some 3 weeks later than in 2022.
