2022 Kelter Wines Chardonnay, Ricci Vineyard, Los Carneros
We are introducing our first Chardonnay production from the Ricci Vineyard. This cool-climate, bay-influenced site in the Sonoma Los Carneros region provided the correct elements for what we had in mind to produce a great Chardonnay. A fresh, rich, pure, savory wine.
To achieve our goal, we whole-cluster-pressed the grapes, followed by an extended cold fermentation. This Chardonnay did not go through Malo-Lactic fermentation; instead, we achieved richness by aging it on its lees in stainless steel and neutral-french barrels. This method persevered all the wine's aromatics.
Because of the wine's delicacy, we only ship in the winter/spring month. Thank you, and enjoy our wines. Cheers.
