Petaluma Gap
2020 Blue Wing Vineyard Chardonnay
In Stock
Winemaker Notes
Our Petaluma Gap Chardonnay has aromas of pineapple, golden apple and hay. On the palate this wine is bursting with honeycrisp apple, fresh minerality and a creamy mouth feel, ending with a smooth, butterscotch finish. The extremely low yielding vineyard led to a wonderful concentration of flavor in the finished wine. We regularly stirred the lees during the 14 months of aging to add richness and texture. Enjoy this with an Asian salad, spicy seafood pasta or lemon garlic chicken.
Production Notes
2020 saw substantial winter rain in Sonoma County though drier weather soon took over, the season ending up about 60% of average precipitation. Beautiful summer days with moderate temperatures ended with a prolonged heatwave in mid-August, driving sugars up and leading to an early harvest. With everything in balance, we harvested on September 12.
