This Chardonnay is Foggy Bridge Winery’s first wine under the G.E.O. (Green. Earth. Origin.) label. The grapes hail from our estate Foggy Bridge vineyard in the San Francisco Bay appellation and were grown with 100% organic practices, allowing the true essence of the region and vineyard to shine. The vines are situated on a rolling hillside with excellent sun exposure, which has helped create a lovely bouquet of stone fruit and melon. Cool evenings, influenced by the San Francisco fog, provide the right climate for crisp natural acidity and structure in this wine.
The grapes were hand picked at optimum maturity in early morning and gently pressed to extract the free run juice. Cool fermentation in a combination of new and neutral French, American and Hungarian Oak barrels contributed soft vanillin notes to the aroma and creaminess to the palate. Malolactic fermentation occurred in 50% of the wine, adding complexity and a touch of buttered popcorn to the nose and palate.
