Joseph Phelps Freestone Vineyards Chardonnay

Our Chardonnay grapes are picked at night to preserve fruit integrity and freshness, followed by whole cluster pressing cold for barrel fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Barrels were stirred as necessary, resulting in a finely layered, concentrated wine. The 2017 Chardonnay has a voluptuous, ripe nose of lemon peel and candied tropical fruit followed by vibrant citrus throughout the palate with a flinty, saline quality and a hint of toast on the finish.
