Chardonnay
This chardonnay's nose jumps out of the glass as a ripe, fleshy peach. The full-bodied taste combines the classic flavors of honeydew, melon, and starfruit with an ever-so-slight steel flavor.

Winemaker Notes
The 2020 Chardonnay came from our Omena vineyard and was immediately pressed to stainless steel vessels for cold settling or clarification of the juice. A single yeast strain was used to ferment the juice and the resulting wine was able to “rest on the lees” for over 3 months.
