2019 Masút Chardonnay “Estate Vineyard”

Located within the Eagle Peak Mendocino County AVA, is the 1200 acre Masút estate.

The property is home to 19 unique blocks of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown at two sites.

The Lower Vineyard is east-facing and sits at an elevation of 900 feet above sea level with gravelly, clay soils formed from thousands of years weathered sedimentary rock. The Upper Vineyard is southwest-facing at 1600 feet elevation with deeper red soils formed from weathered sandstone.

There are seven unique clones of Pinot Noir, as well as two clones of Chardonnay, planted on the estate.

At harvest, each block is picked and vinified separately in small-lot fermenters at the winery, then transferred to French oak barrels for aging. After aging, the final blends are made and the wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered at the winery
