A “perfect” ripening season with full crop yields and restrained sugar levels led to outstanding wines from Washington State’s top viticultural areas in 2008. Delayed slightly by cool spring weather and a moderate summer, harvest began 10 days later than normal. Hot weather in August provided ideal ripening conditions for grapes across all varietals and harvest was quickly ramped up in order to obtain fruit at the optimum ripeness.

Grapes are grown in certified organic vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills. Vineyards receive only 6-8 inches of rainfall annually. Drip irrigation is used, allowing precise control of vine growth patterns. Soils are deep and sandy with low water-holding capacity. Warm, sunny days and cool evening temperatures create ideal conditions for natural sugar development while retaining bright acidity.

Chardonnay grapes were harvested from certified organic vineyard blocks in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Adhering to all organic process guidelines, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented with Prise de Mousse yeasts in stainless steel tanks at 50°F to preserve the natural aromas and flavour profile of the grapes. Fermentation is arrested to assure a balance of natural sugars and acid. Bottling occurs without delay to capture every essence of this fresh,
pure style.

This Chardonnay offers aromas of pear with hints of citrus and fully balanced textures of fruit on the palate.
