Whole-cluster pressed, the juice is fermented in barrel, with only a small percentage of new French oak. They discourage the malo-lactic fermentation to preserve the vibrant natural acidity, pulling the wine together with a narrow focus. Aging on the lees for ten months, with bâttonage, broadens the mouthfeel and adds length. n the end, this combination makes for a wine that is compelling and hard to resist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"pipProdProReviews\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASTING NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautiful chardonnay with cooked apple, dried mango and mineral character with a pumice undertone.

Barrel fermented and aged using a small proportion of new French oak (10-15%), the wine offers up subtle notes of roasted cashews, plus fruit that ranges from pineapple and melon to lemon and lime. It's medium-bodied, modestly silky and textured yet clean and refreshing, as malolactic fermentation is blocked.
