Oak Farm Vineyards Description
This 2021 Chardonnay was harvested early in the morning from Forest Lake Vineyards in the Mokelumne River Sub AVA. The grapes were quickly whole-cluster pressed upon arrival to the winery. 48 hours later the juice was racked into a stainless-steel tank where the fermentation started. Towards the end of the fermentation, the wine was transfer into French oak (25% new oak) and into a stainless steel tank (stainless steel tank allows our Chardonnay to maintain a certain freshness and liveliness that balances perfectly the structure and complexity given by the oak aging). The wine proceeded to go through full malolactic fermentation and lees stirring was done every 3 weeks to build a creamy and complex mouthfeel.
Tasting Note: Aromas of pear, vanilla flower and hazelnut. The mouthfeel is rich with flavor of lemon on the entry, which then evolves into more complex and creamy flavors of butterscotch and nutmeg. The finish is vibrant and persistent.
