2022 Chardonnay
Chardonnay calls to be harvested on long, radiant days well before the season’s swan song. Heat is a near certainty, while thunderheads and cold snaps seem a distant concept. The fruit itself embodies this beaming optimism. Upon harvest, we collect thousands of tiny golden suns to be gently pressed, on a mission to bottle endless summer. The resulting wine, handled minimally in the cellar, will glow with vibrant fruit for many seasons to come.
