2017 Vintage- Los Alamos Vineyard dates back to the late 1960s and is where Chanin started back in 2007 when they purchased one ton of their Chardonnay. The sandy soils, high elevation (900ft) of the blocks, and cool marine influence gives the wine great freshness, bright fruit and complicity.
These grapes were hand harvested early in the morning at 22.9 brix. They were pressed and directly put into French oak barrels (10% new) to ferment. The wine stayed there for 14 months on its lees and was then racked and lightly fined before being bottled unfiltered in March 2019.
