The palate is clean and vibrant, with refreshing acidity balanced by a creamy, softly textured mid-palate and a subtle touch of French oak. The finish is lingering and polished, showcasing both freshness and depth.

Download Tech SheetOur Chardonnay is barrel-fermented in primarily neutral French oak, with weekly lees stirring throughout its 10 months in cask to build texture and depth. The result is a bridge-style, sun-kissed California Chardonnay with mid-palate weight balanced by crisp, citrus-driven acidity. Multiple picks across five vineyard blocks allow each clone to express its unique character, while natural malolactic fermentation adds layered nuance.
