Eden Rift Vineyards Description

Winemaker Notes

A tribute and testament to the vineyard's natural setting as well as its meticulous farmed Chardonnay vines. This offering was whole-cluster pressed, barrel fermented on native yeasts, and aged in 100% French oak barrels (18% new) for 10 months. This well-balanced Chardonnay went through 100% Malolactic fermentation with battonage twice per month for 6 months.

Critical Acclaim

This just takes off at the finish, with bright, tangy acidity and plenty of minerality. Full-bodied and so tangy and energetic. Fantastic chardonnay. Hints of aniseed and flint. Grows in the glass.

The 2018 Chardonnay Estate sports a medium gold hue to go with a gorgeous nose of white peach, stone fruits, honeysuckle, and toasted bread. Beautifully balanced, elegant, and with plenty of sweet fruit and great acidity, this is a killer Chardonnay I'd be thrilled to drink.

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Eden Rift Vineyards Estate Chardonnay is remarkable and authentic. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of fresh earth notes, ripe apples, and dried leaves. Pair it with a savory fish stew with accents of green peppercorns. (Tasted: June 17, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

The 2018 Chardonnay Estate has inviting aromas of spiced apples, toast and dried flowers with a honeyed undercurrent. The palate is medium-bodied, bright, textural and nutty with a long, mineral-laced finish.

Salty lemon- and orange-peel aromas meet with grippy chalk and the hint of stuck match on the nose of this bottling. There is a stony quality to the sip, where lime-pith and seared orange-slice flavors arise.
