Vintage Information
Sonoma County received significant rainfall in the late winter and early spring, replenishing the soil with moisture.
An early summer heatwave helped the vines get used to the warmer weather, allowing them to withstand the heat in August, resulting in high sugar levels and ripening of flavours.
Tasting Comments
Aromas of vibrant green apple, citrus lemon and exotic quince.
Lemon pie and custard flavor.
It has a creamy mouthfeel and a vibrant finish of grapefruit zest and lemon.
Field Information
In recent years, the level of grape-growing techniques outside of Sonoma and Napa has improved, making it possible to produce high-quality grapes, and so the winery has found new grape sources in the cooler Pacific coastal regions of Monterey and Santa Barbara in addition to Sonoma County.
We have created a diverse, complex and harmonious taste of "California Chardonnay".
Sonoma County sources grapes from vineyards with well-drained river-fed soils, such as those in the Russian River Valley.
The sandy soils of the Santa Barbara region and the Monterey vineyards, even in cooler vineyards exposed to direct wind, were harvested late to allow the grapes to ripen fully, giving the wine tropical fruit notes.
