Sustainable, regenerative agriculture with integrated pest management. 100% Burgundy Chardonnay clones, the grapes from our vineyard were handpicked, and pressed in October.

A ambient ferment was allowed for the first 5 days and there was an extended low temperature ferment after which the wine was transferred to three year old Chardonnay barrels and left over winter and early spring but not allowed to go to malolactic fermentation, The wine was bottled in May 2023.
