2008 Edina Chardonnay
Edina Chardonnay is a crisp, aromatic white wine lovingly made in the Chablis style. Edina's dry but sweet flavors of vanilla, pineapple, and melon will bring a smile to your face and make you giggle with joy. Her beauty sparkles in your eye like the dew on the vines on a cool Sonoma morning. She is kissed by the sun giving her the color of honey. We hope you love her as much as we do!
Given our cool location, we harvested in late September in two pulls - one at 23 Brix and the other at 24.5 Brix. The grapes were hand picked, hand sorted, and whole cluster pressed after a cold settle. Primary fermentation was done very cold in stainless with secondary fermentation being split between stainless, new French oak, and neutral French oak for a target of 40% new oak. Wine that was secondarily fermented in new oak went through ML for a total target of less than 30% ML. All aging is done sur lie without stirring. Finished alchohol is 14.7%
We produced a very limited edition of 61 cases and each bottle is individually numbered.
