ELEVAGE: Grapes were crushed and destemmed into a one ton bin to macerate for 72 hours before pressing. Settled juice was moved to old French oak barrels where fermentation, including full malolactic, continued until August of 2022. In September the wine was racked and bottled without fining or filtration.

MISCELLANEOUS: These grapes were grown by Alan D. Hunt over on the west side of Keuka Lake. It's a long drive to get there but the fruit from these vineyards has a charm that we find irresistible. Clocking in at a whopping 9.9% alcohol the wine still somehow manages to display all the classic flavors you expect from barrel aged chardonnay. Nice to sip on its own or pair with an aged cheddar.
