Description
WINEMAKING & TASTING NOTES The 100% estate grown fruit comes entirely from Saracina ranch. The vines are 40 years old, clone 4, and are planted on soils influenced by the Russian River. Grapes were whole cluster pressed, cool tank fermented with four months on lees. 2021 Unoaked Chardonnay has aromas of Asian pear, nectarine, and a crisp, snappy sweet pea. The palate shows light and lively stone fruit and citrus flavors. This is a pure Chardonnay that carries itself admirably without weight. Pair this versatile wine with steamed fish & fresh herbs or grilled chicken paillards & romesco.
