La Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2023 12pack 13.5% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Appearance
Golden peach and pineapple, are followed by flavors of graham cracker crust, with a vibrant and concentrated acidity that drives a lingering finish.

Aroma
Meyer lemon, white flowers, and subtle hints of oak.

Vintage notes
Sonoma County received record breaking and persistent rainfall throughout winter and into early spring of 2023. Bud break came late with emerging leaves in late March. Spring stayed relatively cool, with the trend of running 3-4 weeks behind continued throughout the growing season and into harvest. The long hang time provided ideal conditions for flavor development and acid retention. Fruit displayed great flavor intensity and vibrant acidity during harvest. Our 2023 Chardonnay harvest began September 21st.

Vinification
The fruit is gently pressed, settled for 24 hours then racked to barrel for fermentation. Lees stirred monthly, with the wine aged on lees for approximately 6 months.

Maturation
75% French Oak, 25% American Oak. Wine is maturedin barrel for 6 months
