Our proximity to the Pacific Ocean provides a long growing season, allowing complex flavor development in the fruit, while protecting it from over-ripening. Close attention and selection of sites with balanced vigor, good exposure, and moderate yields, provide us with fruit of the very highest quality. This bottling was selected primarily from blocks growing the Dijon clones 76 & 96, as well as a proven California selection known as ‘Tepesquet’ planted on its own roots. Winemaking & Cellar Information All Tolosa Estate Chardonnay was harvested by hand early in the morning and delivered just as the sun began to rise. We used a gentle whole-cluster pressing regime to minimize bitterness and provide very clear juice, which settled prior to movement to a barrel down tank. We held the juice in tank for up to six days, then barreled down to French oak cooperage (25%-30% new) for fermentation. Each lot received as many as six different cultured yeast strains, as well as roughly 25% native yeast fermentation. Weekly stirring of the lees encouraged malolactic fermentation in approximately 2/3 of the lots; the remainder were ML-blocked to retain acidity and minerality. After ML, these wines were maintained on the lees until assemblage, with a blend-back of approximately 10% tank fermented wine. We held this completed blend in stainless tanks for a further five months, until bottling just prior to the new year.
