<p><strong>Vintage Notes</strong></p>

<p>The 2020 vintage was a dry growing season, with only a few spring showers, but we had good fruit-set and cluster development.</p>

<p><strong>Winemaking Notes</strong></p>

<p>Chardonnay is a winemaker’s grape, molded into its most interesting self by native yeast fermentation and aging in carefully chosen French oak barrels and frequent lees stirring. It is a labor-intensive wine, but the rewards are most certainly worth the hard work and attention.</p>
