Cristom’s flagship Chardonnay is a blend of benchmark vineyard sites in the Eola-Amity Hills, including the Cristom Estate. The combination of volcanic soils, elevations, aspects, clones, and the cool marine influence yield a concentrated and layered Chardonnay with tension and generosity.
Winemaking: Hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed; the juice settles overnight and is moved to barrels. It undergoes native yeast fermentation and full malolactic fermentation. It's aged for eleven months on its lees in 21% new French oak barrels, followed by five months in stainless steel tanks. 13.0% ABV
Tasting Notes: Bright and expressive, this Chardonnay captures the essence of its origins with aromas of Meyer lemon, brioche toast, ocean spray, and sweet citrus. A touch of saline enhances vibrant flavors of lemon zest, Lemonhead candy, and green accents of fern leaf and nettle, all unfolding on a textured mid-palate. A phenolic, salivating finish lingers with hints of graham cracker crust for added depth.
