$24.00 per bottle
Description:
Chardonnay is a varietal whose popularity has grown at a steady pace. Over the years we have produced Chardonnay from neighboring regions but have never made a Chardonnay that is solely from Temecula. We chose to harvest the fruit slightly earlier and purposely made a Chardonnay that had a crisp texture due to youthful acidity levels. Gentle, whole cluster pressing of the fruit was followed with cold settling of the juice prior to racking the barrel. The production was barrel fermented in a combination of new and older (3-4 year old) French and American oak. Nice apple and tropical fruit aromas meld with the oak and balance the wood to fruit. Good length and body with a crispness and a refreshing finish that rivals many of the grand cru Chardonnays from Chablis. This wine demonstrates the ability of Temecula to produce world class Chardonnay.
