2022 Sunflower Chardonnay
2022 Sunflower Chardonnay
This vintage brings fruit from the Eola-Amity Hills. We gently pressed the fruit over three hours and settled overnight before being racked into a handful of French oak barrels and a used puncheon.
Tropical citrus fruit fills the glass, then slowly pulls back to reveal crushed seashells. Bright and elegant, slowly opening up to a richer nose of honeysuckle and ocean mist. The mouthfeel balances mouthwatering acidity against rich layers of fruit. The minimal use of oak, barely perceptible, brings everything together in focus.
Only 167 cases made.
Pre-Orders only. Release Date: May 4th 2025.
We continue to source our Chardonnay from 6 long rows of clones 96 and 76. The season offered exceptional balance in Chardonnays, preserving both freshness and acidity. Hand-picked the second week of October, the fruit was gently pressed before a brief settling, then heading into four french oak barrels to slowly start spontaneous fermentation.
