Description

2022 Chardonnay, Bennett Valley, Sonoma County

winemaking:
“When making Chardonnay I strive for balance to optimize the fruit and richness of texture. To do this, I ferment our Chardonnay and age sur lees [on yeast] in a mix of Burgundian and stainless steel barrels for 8 months. The lees are carefully stirred during its entire time in barrel. During this aging process the wine goes through a partial malolactic conversion [tart malo acid is converted to softer lactic acid]. This process allows the acidity to soften and for the flavors to integrate with the subtle spice from the barrels. This imparts an elegant creaminess without a heavy butter flavor.” — Winemaker/Brewmaster, Elaine St. Clair

roots:
