Martin Ray Chardonnay 2020, 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:

Aromas of dried apples, lemon zest, smoked almonds, buttered toast and cloves. Medium-to full-bodied with fresh acidity and a tight, layered and focused palate. Excellent structure and energy.
