2018 Chardonnay
Cases: 235
Philosophy: Our style continues to evolve at Mari as we seek the right balance of oak fermentation and aging to deliver a wine that both truly tastes of our region while also incorporating some of the Burgundian traditions that have made Chardonnay beloved around the world .
Vinification: The grapes were pressed whole cluster directly into an assortment of one to five year old French oak barriques for fermenting. Towards the end of fermentation we stirred the lees roughly once a week for two months while malolactic fermentation occurred. Afterwards, the wine was left to sit on its lees until shortly before bottling. We lightly filtered it and then bottled.
