Beschreibung des Horse Heaven Hills Chardonnay
Tasting Notes
“This elegant, light to medium-bodied Chardonnay presents aromatics of slight mineral, apple, and pear leading to a balanced palate of pineapple and coconut, closing with a seductive, creamy vanilla finish.” -Ray Einberger, Winemaker.
Vinification
* Whole berry Chardonnay from select vineyards was pressed, the juice was held at 50 degrees in stainless steel tanks for two days.
* 40% of the grapes were barrel fermented in new American and French oak, and 30% in older oak barrels to create complexity and maintain the fruit integrity.
* 30% of the juice was fermented in stainless steel to retain the minerality and fruit-forward elegance of the fruit, characteristics unique to the Horse Heaven Hills region.
* Various yeasts were used at fermentation; the wines were then inoculated for malolactic fermentation.
* All barrels were hand-stirred weekly for six to nine months.
* Blending occured pre-bottling.
