Our Chardonnay grapes are handpicked from vineyards on the Ancient sea beds of the Colorado Plateau. We fermented in stainless steel then moved to barrel when alcoholic fermentation was complete. Barrel aged for 8 months, while aging on the lees for 4 months in neutral oak barrels. We allow the wine to go into a reductive phase protecting it from oxidation. The lees aging creates a richness on the palate with a balanced crispness on the finish. Green Apple, Caramel, Clover Honey, White Peach with a Lemon/Lime finish makes this chardonnay pop out of the glass!
