Sea Smoke Estate Chardonnay 2022

Winemaking:

Our estate-grown Chardonnay fruit was picked 
and hand-sorted in the vineyard before spending the night in our 
cold room. Chilled grapes were softly pressed and the juice was 
gently pumped into a stainless steel tank and cold settled. Once the 
heavy solids were removed, the juice was racked to a stainless 
steel fermenter, then inoculated for primary fermentation. Following 
primary fermentation, the wine was racked to barrels, inoculated 
for malolactic fermentation, then periodically stirred to enhance 
depth and mouthfeel. The 2022 Sea Smoke Chardonnay was aged 
for a total of 10 months prior to bottling with no fining
and no filtration.

Character:

An elegant Chardonnay with aromas of lemon curd, 
star fruit, fresh cut peach and wet stone. Complemented by satsuma 
mandarins and a touch of hazelnut in the focused mid-palate and the 
refreshing cool climate acidity of our estate vineyard.
