PLANT
Also originating from the Rorick Vineyard, from grapes grown on limestone, this is the second Chard that we have released. It may be more Chardonnay-y (Chardonnaisier?) than the 2018 version, with certainly a better structural profile and depth. One learns from the past and tries to improve.
The grapes were picked and immediately whole cluster pressed into tanks. Primary fermentation took around 10 days to complete, and the various tanks were combined then into one lot, which rested on the lees until bottling in July of 2020. The wine had a full, spontaneous secondary (malolactic) fermentation as well. This is an oak-free wine, and showcases how complex and beautiful Chardonnay can be without all the “makeup”.
This vintage has fallen wonderfully clear, showing a brilliant gold-green color. It displays interesting aromas of green plum, graham cracker, and a subtle smoky bacon vibe. It is crisp on the palate, and very textural (something that Chard does very well!), with a medium to full body. It is rich, yet light, simultaneously. Ends with a long, lingering finish, with more fresh plummy fruit and a delightful herbal note
