2022 Madson Chardonnay

100% organic Chardonnay from several small vineyards throughout the appellation. While each site brings its unique mountain micro-climate signature to the blend, the commonalities these vineyards share are low nitrogen, high calcium soils, and a cool climate during growing season. These factors limit yields and increase the depth and mineral concentration of these bright, flinty chardonnays. Directly pressed into neutral French oak for native fermentation, where it remains for 9 months before resting for an additional six months in tank before being bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur. 1652 bottles produced, 12.6% ABV. Aromas of crisp green apple and jasmine flower on a briney breeze. There is a stoniness on the palate with a touch of cherimoya cream and lemon zest. Pairs well with shellfish, white fish, and impromptu beach days.
