DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Aromatically the wine has notes of pears, white peaches, quince, as well as white flowers. On the palate, the wine is a weave of florality and stone fruits, intermixed with hints of chalk and acidity.
The La Rinconada Vineyard Chardonnay hails from a small section of rows planted in 1999 on the very bottom of the slope just before land flattens out to on to the deeper alluvial near the Santa Ynez River. The vines are grown ontop a bed of Elder Series shale loam. After harvest, the grapes undergo a long, slow, cold pressing cycle, so light that it borders on free-run. It begins fermentation in stainless steel tanks before being moved down to a mixture of French barrique and puncheons, no more than 15% of which is new, where it goes through full, natural, malolactic on the lees with no battonage. 10 months in barrel before being moved back to tank settle for several months before bottling.
