2024 Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

Lush aromas of grilled pineapple, golden apple, toasted hazelnut, and lemon curd rise from a broad, textured frame. A rounded mid-palate weight is balanced by energetic acidity and a persistent saline backbone.

Vineyard Notes

Our Chardonnay blocks are nestled at the lowest elevation of our Estate, down by Conn Creek, where they are surrounded on three sides by trees. The resulting environment encourages a crisp Chardonnay with a wide flavor profile that conveys the soil’s minerality and cool location. The 2024 growing season brought moderate temperatures and rain allowing the vines to grow their full canopy and thrive, producing a very high quality vintage.

Production Notes

The grapes were picked in early September. Grapes were hand-harvested in the cool, early morning hours and then immediately whole-cluster pressed before beginning fermentation in French oak barrels and our concrete egg. The wine continued to age in the French oak barrels for nine months (20% new) before bottling in June 2025.
