The 2018 vintage in Washington State had near-perfect growing conditions from bud-break until the end of harvest. This exceptional harvest weather gave our Chardonnay grapes great flavors and balanced chemistry. After hand-picking, the grapes were pressed at low pressure to avoid harsh phenolics. Careful to keep oxygen exposure to a minimum, we fermented and aged the wine in 100% stainless steel, resulting in a fresh, aromatic style of Chardonnay.
