Product Description
The 2012 growing season was a winemakers dream with near perfect conditions throughout the entire season. Continuous warm weather without any major hot spells let the fruit ripen fully. The mild temperatures gave the grapes an extended ripening time, which provided for full flavor development and incredible balance. The grapes for this wine were picked ripe and then gently pressed. After settling the juice, it was inoculated and fermented in barrel until dry. The wine went through 50% malo-lactic fermentation to enhance the rich and supple texture. The chardonnay was left on its settlings and stirred every two weeks to help give a creamy mouth feel. Bottled in July 2013, this wine drinks wonderfully now and should develop for the next 3-5 years. NOTE: You must be 21 to order this product.
