2021 Chardonnay – Maenad Wine Co

Chardonnay grapes were hand harvested from a vineyard in the Lincoln Lakeshore appellation. Whole bunch pressed and fermented with wild, ambient yeasts in French oak barrels (new and older oak) where it aged for 12 months. Bright, lifted fruit aromas of yellow plum, peach, golden delicious apples, hazelnuts and hay. The palate is bright with acidity and fruit, and a rounded complex finish. Unfined and unfiltered. A small amount of sulphites were added before bottling.
