These Chardonnay grapes were pressed into stainless steel fermentation tanks and fermented cold, (58-60 degrees) to retain freshness. We source our grapes from Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma Carneros, and the Russian River Valley. Clones: Primarily 04 and 14.

We source our grapes for our UN-Oaked Chardonnay from family owned vineyards in Clarksburg and Lodi. These regions are well known for their sustainable ethics and Mediterranean climates. Like southern France, these regions can bring out a beautiful ripeness in the grapes, while maintaining fresh acidity.

This lovely UN-Oaked Chardonnay is perfect for all gatherings. It's refreshingly fruity and light-bodied, with a beautifully transparent, pale golden yellow color. It has vibrant fruit aromas of ripe pear, fresh pineapple and hints of lemon grass. With a touch of sweet, this wine is bursting with added notes of tropical guava and fresh lemon. Yet, it is fresh and crisp.

The 2021 vintage provided an UN-Oaked Chardonnay with remarkable quality. Deep frost conditions in late 2020 coupled with continued drought conditions affected overall yields. However, this lighter than usual harvest provided concentrated flavor and retention of bright acidity. Harvested in early September, and fermented only in stainless steel tanks, we have crafted a crisp, delicious wine that is very approachable and food friendly.
