Chardonnay Stephen Vincent
A joint venture between three of the largest names in the Californian wine industry, Stephen Vincent is an artisanal wine project that has risen to stardom.
Sourcing grapes from several vineyards around California, the grapes are whole cluster pressed and moved directly to tank for cold-settling. The juice is then racked to tank and inoculated with yeast to activate fermentation. 35% of the wine is moved to a blend of new French oak barrels for fermentation, the balance of the cintage we aged on stainless steel. Central Coast AVA saw an extended growing season for chardonna, giving us extra hangtime and more well-developed flavours in the final blend.
A Classic California Chardonnay with a touch of oak, lots of fruit and refreshing acidity.
