Introducing Proprietor’s Reserve Chardonnay
Introducing our 2021 Proprietor’s Reserve Chardonnay, a labor of love and craftsmanship by our talented winemakers, Tom and Spencer Jones. Their expertise and dedication shine through every sip of this extraordinary wine, resulting from a perfect combination of premium fruit from our Spanish Creek vineyard and the artful winemaking techniques employed by the father-son duo.
The inaugural release underwent a meticulous selection process to select only the finest barrels of the vintage. These special barrels were then aged for 16 months in new small French oak barrels with frequent batonnage, sur lie aging, and 100% malolactic fermentation before bottling. These handcrafting techniques resulted in a wine of unparalleled refinement, elegance, and exceptional character.
On first impression, the bouquet reveals vibrant notes of sweet Meyer lemon, fresh white truffle, juicy yellow apple, succulent pear, tropical fruits, rich butterscotch, and a subtle hint of coriander spice.
Upon tasting, prepare to be enchanted by the delightful richness and perfect balance of flavors. The wine unfolds with layers of sweet Meyer lemon, ripe yellow apple, luscious Bartlett pear, and exotic star fruit, complemented by nuances of toasted vanilla almonds and a touch of honey, creating a harmonious tasting experience.
