Winemaker Ralf Holdenried Notes
The Chardonnay grapes were hand harvested at night between August 22nd and October 6th. The grapes were gently pressed as whole clusters and after the juice settled overnight, it was racked, inoculated with yeast to initiate primary fermentation. Afterward, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged in French and American oak barrels on lees. The final blend was crafted after each lot was evaluated individually.
