2016 LA ESTANCIA CHARDONNAY
VARIETAL: 100% Chardonnay
VINEYARDS: La Estancia Vineyard
LOCATION: Santa Lucia Highlands
ALCOHOL: 13%
TOTAL PRODUCTION: 251 Cases
In the cellar we used only native yeast fermentation. The Chardonnay was fermented in 1-2 year Austrian Oak barrels to allow the wine to breath and gain texture, then aged in said barrels for 16 months. SO2 was only used once about a month prior to bottling to help the wine retain a sense of freshness and acidity. The wine did go through partial malolactic fermentation.
