Chardonnay sings in cooler vintages. Long slow growing seasons require more detailed work in the vineyard, but this care and attention amplifies the beauty of Chardonnay. The vibrant and yellow-green hue of the 2023 Pisoni Estate Chardonnay begins with own-rooted vines in granite soil. After harvest, this fruit progresses through hand sorting, gentle pressing and native fermentation. Aromas of white peach, lemon zest, acaica flower and chalky minerality beam from the glass. The freshness of morning fog and a coastal climate come through with bright acidity on the palate, while seventeen months of quietly aging on lees in the cellar bring a rich and full texture to the pallet. This Chardonnay can be enjoyed now or aged for many more years in the cellar.
