100% ESTATE GROWN, PRODUCED AND BOTTLED - NAPA VALLEY AVA
                     
Seavey Vineyard’s 2007 Chardonnay was made from 100% chardonnay grapes from vineyard blocks in the cooler parts of the vineyard adjacent to Conn Creek.

The grapes were whole-berry cluster pressed and fermented in Burgundian barrels (35% new oak) with a combination of indigenous and cultured yeast and with partial malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged in barrels for seven months before bottling on May 2008. The resulting wine is wonderful, with aromas of pineapple and tropical fruits and honeyed melon.  The wine is fuller-bodied and more tightly wound than normal, indicating greater complexities to develop over the next few years.
