This Chardonnay is barrel aged and went through 50% Malolactic Fermentation. It was placed in French and American oak barrels, 15% of which is new wood, that were hand selected from only the finest coopers, such as Seguin Moreau, Mendocino Cooperage, Demptos and Radoux. Barrel aged, along with the lees being stirred every two weeks once fermentation is complete.

The wine is allowed to gain complexity and structure. This makes the wine ready to drink upon release, but also age gracefully for a number of years in the bottle.
