Th­e wine shows notes of yellow apple, pear, lime flower and peel, almonds, hints of tarragon and pastry dough. In the mouth, it's more yellow apples and pear, underripe nectarine, lime peel, toasted bread, and a distinct stoniness. Bottled a year early from our normal Chardonnay program, the impetus for this wine was to push for a pretty, nervy, and slightly less lees inflected wine for everyday enjoyment.
12% ABV Fermented in a combination of tank and a 500L puncheon, then aged for a total of 6 months on lees.

The 2023 “Vin Soif ”Chardonnay shows the quality of great sites, sustainably grown, mature vineyard sites in an exceptional year. Temperance Hill, Durant and Tsai Vineyards are all part of their single vineyard Chardonnay program.
