EARTH: Our
Chardonnay from Sangiacomo Vineyards in Carneros is a signature wine. The
individuality of the vineyard, the fingerprint of the vintage and the acumen of
our winemaking blossom in each bottle. Expressing the marks of these three
forces – earth, nature and man – is fundamental to our mission, our philosophy
and the wine we call Signaterra.
MAN: Grapes were hand harvested at night to keep the flavors bright and fresh. The juice was whole-cluster pressed using a Champagne-style press that encourages free run, clean juice. It was tank-settled at low temperatures, racked clean to fermentation tanks, then fermented slowly with native yeasts from the vineyard. The Chardonnay sat on the lees for four and a half months to impart a rich mouthfeel. These methods reveal a brighter, more elegant wine with fewer particles in suspension.
NATURE: In this vineyard, we work closely with the powers of sun and wind. As a grape cluster develops, it's shielded from direct sun by the shade of a grape leaf or two above it, avoiding direct sun exposure, so the temperature of the surrounding air gently encourages cluster development and gentle ripening. Here, the wind is a critical component aiding grape and vine health. We use the trellising system to encourage a wind tunnel-like space at the center of the vine. This keeps fresh, healing air moving through the plant, even in the heart of summer.
