2004 Estate Grown TOLOSA “No-Oak” Chardonnay
Varietal Composition:
100% Edna Ranch Chardonnay
Appellation: Edna Valley
Production: 978 cases
Vineyard Information
The weather leading up to the 2004 harvest in the Central Coast was near perfect . An
unusually hot September hastened the maturation of the Chardonnay somewhat. The
benefit realized was the retention of higher levels of natural acidity to balance the ripe
stone-fruit character and regional minerality.
Winemaking & Cellar Information
The grapes were whole-cluster pressed, followed by a 24-hour cold settling period and
racked into stainless steel tanks. The tanks were then inoculated with natural wine
yeast where the wine remained for a cool 50F, 18-day fermentation. The Chardonnay
remained sur-lie (on its fermentation lees), for six months to encourage the
development of its ambrosial complexity. To capture the true essence of Chardonnay
fruit and the Edna Val ley terroir, this lot was held separately without the use of oak or
malo-lactic fermentation.
Analytical Information

Winemaker Notes
Fresh and vibrant, this delicious
un-oaked wine reflects the true essence
of Chardonnay at its purest. Asian
pear and white peach fill the palate
through to the clean, bright finish.
Library Notes
Peach, fruity, nuttiness flavors that have evolved with aging. Drink within the year 2007 for peak taste.
