The 2023 Russian River Valley Chardonnay is a highly balanced, vibrant white wine crafted by Vineyard & Winery in Sonoma County, California. Known for its elegant, Burgundy-inspired style, this vintage benefits from a long, cool growing season that maximizes acidity and pure fruit extraction.
Key Characteristics & Flavor Profile
- Aromas: Opens with crisp flint, wet stones, white peach, Meyer lemon, and delicate floral blossoms.
- Palate: Balanced flavor notes of zesty lime, tangerine, crisp red Bosc pear, and subtle French oak.
- Structure: Focused and textural with mouthwatering, vibrant acidity and a lingering, mineral-driven finish.
- Alcohol by Volume (ABV): A restrained 12.7% ABV, which is notably leaner than many traditional California Chardonnays.
Winemaking Details
- Harvest: Grapes are hand-harvested exclusively at night from the Russian River Valley benchlands to maintain freshness.
- Fermentation: Fermented in a combination of 47% stainless steel, 44% new French oak, and 9% concrete eggs.
- Malolactic Fermentation: Artificially capped at just 24% to retain a crisp, apple-like acidity instead of a heavy, buttery feel.
- Aging: Aged in 100% new French oak barrels for 6 months
