Hartford Court Chardonnay 2021, 750ml

This wine is sourced from small vineyards throughout the Russian River Valley AVA, including Estate properties like Jennifer’s, Fog Dance, Bellflower, and Arrendell, as well as neighboring vineyards.

Winemaking: All grapes are hand harvested at night and undergo whole cluster pressing. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeast in French oak barrels, 24% of which are new. The wine is aged for 9 months with weekly lees stirring through malolactic fermentation, and it undergoes no fining and minimal filtration.

Tasting Notes:

Aromas of jasmine flower, citrus oil, green apple and pear. The elegant aromatics are complemented by fresh kiwi, lemon drop and green apple flavors. The fruit focused mid-palate is followed by subtle mineral notes and a hint of crystallized ginger in the finish.
