Chardonnay 'Cascadia', Brick House 2021

Fresh fruit is fully pressed and run into a variety of French oak barrels where it is allowed a native fermentation under the careful eye of the winemaker. To reveal the essence of the grape, the juice sees few manipulations. A majority of the barrels are seasoned from use year after year so the percentage of new wood is kept decidedly low. The resulting wine completes malolactic fermentation and remains on its gross lees for a full year, after which it is moved to tank for another six months when it is bottled by hand in the farm winery.
