2022 Shadow Point Chardonnay

Fruit comes from a vineyard in Monterey, California’s Central Coast region. The Chardonnay vineyard sits next to a chain of hills which separate the vineyards from the Pacific coast. Chardonnay benefits from the cooler evenings this region enjoys helping to maintain natural freshness.

After careful selection fruit is pressed gently in a bladder press before fermentation in stainless steel. 20% of the blend is aged for 6 months in new and used French oak.

Tasting Note: This is a modern CA Chardonnay, on the nose there is an appealing salinity over toasted hazelnut aromas. The palate has a stone fruit and struck match structure to it that gives it a gentle minerality.

Origin: California, USA

Blend: Chardonnay
