A single vineyard Chardonnay from the Maresh Vineyard in the Dundee Hills AVA. Planted in 1983, this 108 clone is located at 850 feet and sustainably farmed. The site is ideal for Burgundian style Chardonnay.
Aromatics of white peaches, papaya, mineral, slate, and faint anise meet the quintessential lemon and lime that is characteristic of this high elevation site. An austere front palate gives way to buoyant acidity and fresh fruit while the warmth of subtle spice and lees influence an intense and sleek Chardonnay. The generous finish extends into a round mixture of bright apple and honey. Long ageing 7-10 yrs. expected.
