In contrast to the barrel fermented Olivet Lane Estate Chardonnay, the grapes for this wine were harvested earlier and whole-cluster pressed. An especially long, cool fermentation and aging in stainless steel maintained the fresh fruit flavors and delicate floral aromas. The wine’s complexity and rich texture come from sur lie aging with lees stirring. No oak, no malo-lactic conversion. Pure Chardonnay. It is bottled in Spring following the harvest and is meant to be enjoyed for its youthful fragrance, apple-like flavors, and bracing acidity.
