Winemaking and Analysis

• The 2020 Chardonnay is a great example of the stellar growing conditions in that
year. Hot and sunny, with favorable weather all season, it was a wonderful vintage
• Desired style was BARREL FERMENTED, displaying the winemaking versatility of
the grape… compared to the pure fruit expression of our “Unoaked” version of
Chardonnay
• Fruit sourced entirely from our Avonport Vineyard. After 4 years in the ground, this
was the first harvest from these grapes
• 100%-barrel fermentation in older French Oak, the wine spent 15 months in barrel.
Full malolactic fermentation was employed, with regulated batonage or lees stirring,
to extract exotic tertiary notes from the lees.
