2022 Chardonnay
In Stock
Inspired by the Honey Bee and Jupiter
FABLE 163: By Jupiter's decree, we sacrifice these grapes to create a wine that's bright as lightening and smooth like honey. Though tempting to keep this wine for yourself, seek out those with whom to share it with. For generosity can leave a taste far richer than greed.

Production Notes
All of the fruit was picked based on acidity to preserve brightness and sent directly to the press. This wine was fermented with native yeast. 60% fermented in barrel, the remainder fermented in stainless steel. We utilized daily batonnage on the barrel ferments to balance out the bright acidity.
