2019 Chardonnay

This is light golden wine with a slight green hue. This semi-dry Chardonnay has no oak whatsoever and is full of apple, honeydew and pear character. It is lush and lingering on the palate. As soon as I tasted this I knew it was one of my favorites of the 2019 white wines. At this price, there's really no reason not to purchase five cases at a time.

A total of 10.38 tons of estate grown grapes was harvested on October 16-18, 2019 with 22 brix natural sugar, 8.1 g/l TA and a 3.10 pH.  The grapes were destemmed, pressed and inoculated with yeast.  A cool fermentation at 56-58 degrees lasted for 21 days.  The wine is cold and heat stabilized and filtered.  It has 12.8% alcohol, 7.4 g/l TA, a 3.12 pH and 2.0% residual sugar. 590 cases were produced.
