Seghesio Chardonnay 2021

All of the grapes for this blend were hand-harvested at night and whole-cluster pressed while still cold into stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant fruit flavors. The Santa Barbra portion was then transferred to French oak barrels (25% New) and underwent 100% native yeast fermentation and malolactic fermention during its 11 month barrel aging. The Napa and Sonoma portions of the blend were fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve the bright fruit and focused acidity of the wines. The wines were blended after 14 months of aging and bottled at 18 months.
