The CCOF-certified Chardonnay from Linda Vista Vineyard, nestled in the cool climate of Oak Knoll, flourished during one of the coolest harvest seasons on record. This allowed the distinctive character of the old Olmo clone to fully express itself. Harvested on September 29, the grapes were gently pressed and barrel-fermented, then aged for nine months in French oak barrels using the sur lie method. This Chardonnay reveals a nose of toasted almond, Bartlett pear, Granny Smith apple, and hints of grapefruit. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with juicy citrus acidity and a seamlessly integrated elegance, showcasing the cool-climate traits of Oak Knoll.
