Wine Details
Price:
Description:
The grapes are picked between 25 and 26 degrees brix to ensure mature ripe fruit flavors. They are hand selected at harvest time by Lee Martinelli, Sr. and Helen Turley who taste the grapes and choose when to pick according to the developed concentration of flavors in the berries. The wine is fermented with wild yeast in 75% new French oak barrels, where it rests in on its gross lees for 10 months. The grapes, juice, and then wine are minimally handled. This Chardonnay is neither heat nor cold stabilized and is unfined and unfiltered. We began our immigrant farming careers with apples and they will always have a huge place in our family's hearts and on our tables. They supported our family for generations as an agriculture product. So next time you sip a taste of Martinelli wine, don't forget the apple pie for dessert.
