| 2008 provided a cool, dry winter, followed by a mild summer that finished up with a nice warm period into harvest. This great weather and a small crop level were enhanced by the cool Pacific breezes and coastal fog that make their way through the Petaluma Gap; making for pristine and intense fruit. The fruit was whole cluster pressed and then fermented in French oak barrels – of which less than 10% were new. The wine was stirred weekly and aged sur lies while completing malolactic fermentation for optimum texture and balance. After 11 months in barrel, the wine was bottled without fining or filtration.The result of this process is a Chardonnay that exhibits great fruit and floral characteristics, while maintaining excellent balance, minerality and texture. |
