Martin Ray Chardonnay 2021, 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:

Sliced-apple and honey aromas with some green peach and green melon. Full-bodied and firm with a follow through to a bright and fresh finish of spiced pear and stone.
