Regional Information
Grapes for our Chardonnay were selected from premier vineyards throughout California's celebrated wine regions. Fruit was harvested at night and in the early morning to ensure the highest quality, then pressed while grapes were still cool. A long, cool fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks preserved the richness, fruit flavors and generous aromas. Throughout fermentation, lees were stirred to enhance the texture and complexity.
