2020 Otherworldly Chardonnay
The 2020 vintage started as most years do and harvest was anticipated to be a bit earlier than the previous year. Around July we saw temperatures begin to change, which caused
the ripening process to slow and result in later picking dates, and we ended up harvesting just a few days apart on most varietals from the previous year. We did experience smoke through the season, but with precautions taken at the winery (bucket ferments) were able to avoid its impact entirely. In the cellar, we were able to procure a Concrete Cube specifically for Chardonnay. This gave us a tremendous opportunity to explore the beauty of concrete fermentation and aging. The amazing part of watching this ferment in the tank was seeing the vortex that was created from the yeast fermenting off the sides of the tank. This wine will really surprise you with its full mouth feel and bright textures.
Our Otherworldly Unoaked Chardonnay brings your undivided attention straight to the glass. 100% concrete fermented and aged, this wine is full of elegant texture from start to finish. The subtle grapefruit and passion fruit notes flow through and evolve into beautiful lemon zest. This wine captures you on the palate with a full-body profile from the concrete integration. Enjoy this patio ready wine whenever you can!
