Wild Ferment Chardonnay

Overview

Our “Wild Ferment” Chardonnay was made by harvesting the grapes in the cool morning, then quickly pressing the juice away from the grapes.

Our vineyards enjoy warm Mediterranean-like weather, which allows for flavor development. They are also exposed to cool maritime breezes that come in the evenings, maintaining the grapes’ fresh acidity.

This wine pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken or pork loin, any seafood dish, including lobster and crab, roasted root vegetables, and creamy pasta dishes.
