Hand picked Bernard 76 and 277 Chardonnay was gently whole bunch pressed into a tank oxidatively. Before transfer into French oak puncheons, the tank was mixed to ensure all solids were taken to Puncheon (10% new, 90% third and fourth use). 100% completed MLF and was left on yeast lees until November when it was transferred to tank to prepare for bottling. The wine was bottled early January 2021, 10 months after harvest.
A wet spring resulted in less than ideal flowering and fruit set. This resulted in a slightly lower than average crop. A cool summer resulted in harvest being two to three weeks later than the long term average.
