It is here that the canvas for Painter Bridge Chardonnay begins. The Chardonnay is first fermented in older French oak barrels to enhance pure fruit expression with wild and cultured yeast from the Burgundy region of France. Immediately after completion of alcoholic fermentation, the barrels are stirred and the Chardonnay with its yeast lees is transferred to stainless steel tanks for additional aging and maturation. To enhance the bold fruitiness of Painter Bridge Chardonnay, a touch of Muscat Canelli and Gewurztraminer from Monterey County are blended, enriching the enticing floral character. The blended wine is then cold stabilized, fined, and sterile-filtered to bottle. The resulting wine is delightfully full-flavored with pretty, forward fruit aromas creating a pleasant, quaffable Chardonnay.
