Fullerton Five Faces Chardonnay
Availability:12 In Stock
This Chardonnay is a blend of 5 different vineyards in the northern Willamette Valley. Harvested when sugars were low and acids were high and full cluster pressed.
Honeydew melon, Japanese pear, apricot, honeysuckle, apple-blossom, nutmeg, brioche, and lemon curd. Melon is echoed on the palate with notes of lemon, tangerine, toasted almonds, and fennel. Lovely, integrated acidity balances the palate weight.
The pressed juice was put in barrels and left to spontaneously ferment in cold temperatures. This wine went thru full malolactic fermentations and spent 17 months on the lees before being bottles. It is unfiltered.
