WINEMAKER: James W. Moss
FARMING:
VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
TERROIR: Sourced from select, low-yield vineyards in Napa Valley. The 2023 vintage benefited from a long, mild growing season and extended hang time, contributing to balanced ripeness and freshness.
VINIFICATION: Hand-picked cold at night, gently destemmed and pressed. Settled in stainless steel for 24 hours, then slow-fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit character and build texture.
AGING: Aged in both stainless steel and French oak barrels to round out the mouthfeel and add subtle oak complexity.
TASTING NOTES: Bright straw in color; medium-bodied and well-rounded, with intense aromas of peach, nectarine, and tropical fruit. The palate is well-balanced and crisp, with a creamy mouthfeel and a mouthwatering finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Roast chicken, crab cakes, creamy pasta dishes, or fresh salads.
