Chardonnay

    This dry wine, vintage 2008,  is made from 100% Chardonnay grape. We purchase the grapes from Italy and ferment them here in stainless steel tanks for well over month. Then the fermented must is slowly clarified over time by cooling the young wine in the large vats. We carefully rack or transfer the wine to a new vessel every few months to remove the sediment. After a number of rackings, the wine becomes crystal clear. This takes anywhere from a number of months to well over a year. Once the wine has been cleared, we then litghtly oak the wine with toasted oak chips to offer balance to this clean wine, without imparting any preceived “oakiness”. $16.95 (go back to all wines)
