Sourced from high-elevation vineyards with stone- and clay-rich soils, it offers a polished balance of ripe fruit, lively freshness, and subtle oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Chardonnay shows a bright, inviting character with a medium-bodied feel and a refined, creamy texture. The nose opens with golden apples, poached pears, ripe nectarine, honeydew melon, white flowers, and a gentle hint of vanilla from the oak.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is generous yet fresh, carrying the same orchard and stone-fruit notes through to a smooth, balanced finish. The 12 months of sur lie aging add depth and roundness, while the Sonoma Coast’s cool climate keeps everything lifted and focused. It is a Chardonnay that can be enjoyed now for its vibrant fruit and harmony, though it should hold well over the near term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from vineyards high up in the Sonoma Coast, where stone- and clay-rich soils help shape a wine with both tension and generosity. Winemaker Leslie Renaud has crafted the wine in a Burgundian style, with fermentation and maturation followed by 12 months on the lees in French oak barrels, 40% of them new, to build texture and complexity while preserving the region’s distinctive fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe this Chardonnay at around 10–12°C.
