Wine Details
Price:
$26.00 per bottle
Description:
To make a classic Chardonnay in the Burgundian sense, with both richness and restraint, elegance and agability, one must be committed to bringing the same painstaking detail to the Chardonnay winemaking that one brings to Pinot Noir. Low yields, indigenous yeasts where possible, and, to get the best possible expression of an individual vineyard's terroir, a rigourous barrel-by-barrel selection is made pre-bottling, selecting only those which best express the vineyard's character. The percentage of new French oak is also paramount, and must not be too high, or the terroir of the vineyard risks being obscured. After some 14 months in barrel and one in vat, our Wascher Vineyard Chardonnay is bottled and left to further round out in bottle until its release date, a full two years after the harvest.
