The 2018 Chardonnay is a classically oaked Chardonnay. Fermented in French oak barrels with regular lees stirring for months following fermentation. allowed to go through roughly 90% of a malolactic fermentation, the wine continued to age in barrel for 18 months. The result is a full rich palate with strong toasted edges and creamy center, and the touch of malic acid left gives a levity to it so that the palate does not becoming cloying or flabby.
