Tasting note
Earthy yet pretty Chardonnay from northern California, juicy with tangerine, fragrant with spiced pear and clove and given substance by a combination of green apples and dried apricot.
Viticulture
In 1967, Warren Dutton planted the first Chardonnay in far western Sonoma. Dutton Ranch, a legacy of his pioneering efforts, is now a highly-regarded vineyard. Old-vine Chardonnay blocks make this wine, crafted by Patz & Hall since 1998. Sustainable viticulture practiced here.
Vinification
This Chardonnay is 100% Whole-cluster pressed, 100% indigenous yeast fermentations. Sur lie aged with weekly stirring, 100% malolactic fermentation in barrel, in Burgundian French oak barrels (35% new; 65% 1-2-year old).
Food Match
Lighter fare, which needs mineral driven refreshing Chardonnay such as seared whiting and courgette salad or fetta with watermelon, orange segments and fresh mint.
