Chardonnay from our Home Vineyard, hand-harvested on September 7th, chilled to 35 degrees, whole-berry cold pressed into a concrete tank. Fermentation began spontaneously with native yeast, slowly proceeding at a controlled 60-degree temperature over two weeks. This wine aged on lees post-fermentation with periodic stirring for silky texture and enhanced minerality, then cleanly racked before bottling.
