v.2022 Chardonnay, Giallo Solare

Giallo Solare is a pure expression of our Estate Chardonnay, unencumbered by oak or heavy-handed winemaking. Hand-harvested at nighttime from selected blocks of Estate Chardonnay, it is quickly whole-cluster pressed and moved to 7hl egg-shaped concrete tanks for a slow native yeast fermentation. After 13 months in concrete, selected wines are moved with their lees to stainless steel tanks for an additional 8 months of aging prior to bottling. 

With such a pure approach to winemaking, this wine shows off our attention to detail in the vineyard all through the growing season - this wine represents many miles of footsteps and careful attention to canopy and crop levels. Only the best fruit can stand as a complete wine and it is not every vintage that we bottle Giallo Solare.
