Winemaker's Notes:
"The Canoe Ridge Estate Chardonnay is refined and elegant and offers apple and citrus aromas with a clean, refreshing finish. We age the wine in lighter French oak barrels to maintain the fresh, elegant style of this Chardonnay.” -- Bob Bertheau, Winemaker
Vintage:
- 2013 growing season enjoyed a record early start to bud break
- Summer was consistent and warm, perfect for the vines to ripen
- Harvest started mid-September and extended into early November as fall brought cooler temperatures
- The long, warm, consistent 2013 growing season resulted in beautifully ripe and balanced wines
Vineyards:
- The vineyard at Canoe Ridge Estate lies on a steep South facing slope to the Columbia River and is located in Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills AVA
- Planted in 1991, the site’s proximity to the river and strong wind patterns protect it from temperature extremes, allowing uniform ripening and excellent color development
- Canoe Ridge Estate vineyard is LIVE and Salmon Safe certified
Winemaking:
- Aged in 86% French oak barrels, 38% new, and 14% stainless steel
- 100% aged sur lie for nine months to integrate the fruit and oak flavors and provide a rich mouthfeel
- Underwent malolactic fermentation for added softness, balance and depth.
