The Story
This Monte Bello estate Chardonnay features naturally occurring acidity that yields tremendous elegance and balance. Whole-cluster pressed, fermented on native yeasts, and aged nine months on lees in 85% American and 15% French oak, it shows apple, brioche, and vanilla aromatics with focused citrus and pear on a creamy, precise palate. Hand-harvested mountain-grown fruit elevates every dimension. Enjoy now through 2031 as it matures into greater complexity.
