Chardonnay grapes grown primarily in our Estate and Ricci vineyards, with additional barrels from the Wildcat Mountain and Sangiacomo vineyards, underwent traditional European winemaking practices. Each lot was fermented separately and aged on the lees (“sur-lie”) in small French oak barrels, introducing judicious new oak. The result is an elegant and powerful wine that is refreshing and mouthwatering on the finish. It has intense aromatics of citrus, white flowers, and peach. This wine offers layers of tropical & stone fruit and light minerality on the palate. Well-balanced acidity gives it a crisp, clean finish, making it an excellent wine with food. Try it with cream soups, rich seafood, fowl, veal, and pasta dishes.

This shows note of ripe peaches and pineapple with hints of toffee, honeysuckle and lemon custard. Medium- to full-bodied, creamy and weighty yet with fresh, juicy acidity coming through. Mellow and textural on the finish. Drink or hold.
