FROM THE WINEMAKER
– Stephanie Pope, Winemaker
VINTAGE NOTES
Vintage 2023 is characterized as one of the longest growing seasons in a decade. The mild weather lead to above-average crop yields. With all of the heavy winter rains the reservoirs were full for ideal conditions and saturated soil. The winter rains gave the vines much needed hydration as they woke up from their dormant winter, and because of the cooler vintage this will be bright and clean.
CURATED CULINARY PAIRING
“A winery favorite is fennel dusted wild Pacific Halibut with roasted peaches and field greens dressed with a honey & citrus vinaigrette. A spicy, sweet greens mix joined with stone fruits is superb. A Feta style goat cheese or Carmody enhances the natural gifts of this Chardonnay.”
– Chad Hendrickson, Executive Chef
