​

We hand picked the fruit at 21-21.5 brix to capture a nice balance of acidity and fruit. 2024 saw bountiful winter rains and a very warm summer. The grapes were gently foot treaded to break up the clusters, then went direct to press. The juice was barrel fermented using only native yeasts. The wine aged and developed in neutral French Oak barrels for 7 months and went through full malolactic fermentation to give this wine a nice balance of depth and acidity.

Viticultural Area: 

 

Wheeler Vineyard’s Chardonnay was planted in 1974 on elevated gravelly alluvial terrace. It is CCOF organically farmed and part of the Historical Vineyard Society, located in Tres Pinos.

 

Kevin Olson Vineyard is one of the coldest vineyards in California, and that is where we get the nice acid backbone in the wine. It is located right off Highway 101 in Prunedale, and grows in sandy soils. It was planted in 1999 and recently received CCOF Organic certification this year.

 

The Chardonnay from Oak Knoll District in Napa Valley is CCOF and brings to this blend a nice balance of uplifting acidity and fruit from the Napa sunshine that meets the San Pablo Bay winds
