Martin Ray Chardonnay 2019, 750ml

From the cool diurnal shifts in the south, to higher elevations in the North, there is a striking contrast to the concentration of fruit and high acidity.

100% Chardonnay from Cartan Vineyard, Mill Station Vineyard - Dutton Ranch.

Each lot picked individually at peak ripeness. Gently pressed, cold-settled for two days, then racked to 30% new French oak barrels. Certain lots see inoculation, while others are natural yeast fermentations.

Tasting Note:

Layers of juicy Eureka lemon, Granny Smith apple skins, subtle orange blossom and candied ginger. Fresh and light with vibrant acidity, well-integrated oak and a touch of vanilla bean.
