Winery's Notes
"This wine was selected as one of Wine Business Monthly's "Wines that defined the year". The Terraces Chardonnay comes from the eastern-facing, terraced T-Block. It is comprised of clones 4 & 76. Barrel fermented on native yeasts in French oak, and aged 'sur-lie' in barrel (20% new) for 10 months. Creamy with bright acidity, this wine displays aromas of citrus, white peach, orange cream, white flowers and minerals."

Clean lines of white melon, nectarine and lemon verbena make for a sharp, focused and unique nose on this bottling. Grapefruit zest enlivens the tip of the sip, as warmer pine nut, melon and honeysuckle flavors slided into a citrus-spiked popcorn finish." -MK, 7/1/2023
