- WINEMAKER: Braiden Albrecht

- AGING: Aged for 10 months in neutral oak barrels and stainless steel, allowing the wine to develop complexity without overpowering oak influence
- TASTING NOTES: Bright and focused, with flavors of lemon curd, green apple, and white peach, layered with notes of crushed rocks and a subtle creaminess. Vibrant acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish define this mountain Chardonnay
