Gold - Savor NW 91

This 2021 Chardonnay offering is our first estate Chardonnay. We harvested the fruit with beautiful flavors on the 22nd of September. The juice was fermented cold in 33% new French oak alongside some neutral oak barrels. After fermentation was complete the wine underwent a partial malolactic fermentation giving the wine its beautiful mid-palate. The barrels were stirred for the first 3 months then settled and aged on Sur Lie for 16 months. The aromas are toasty and lightly buttery with vanilla scents, while on the palate the creamy texture and flavors of ripe apple and peach touch the senses.

2022 Pinot Gris

Alcohol 13.5%

pH 3.19
Titratable Acid 0.61

Bottling Date 4/4/2023
The 2022 Pinot Gris is 100% estate fruit. Harvested on the 15th of October we sorted the fruit straight into the press where the juice was separated from the skins and seeds and into a stainless-steel tank. The juice was cold settled over night then separated into two batches. Using two different strains of yeast each batch of juice was cold fermented for just over 50 days. The resulting wines were two beautiful, aromatic, flavorful wines. The two different batches of Pinot Gris were then homogenized and prepared for bottling. The aromas are filled with citrus and tropical notes, while the palate is well balanced with notes of citrus fruit along with a minerality that leaves a nice clean, lengthy finish.

Fermented cold for about 60 days the wine was fermented just shy of complete dryness. The aromas are that of strawberry and watermelon, with a hint of rose petals that coat the senses. The flavors are identical with a crisp mid palate and a touch of natural sweetness to finish it off.
