Camp Chardonnay is 83% Chardonnay, from the Lloyd Vineyard in Alexander Valley off of Soda Rock Road, 11% from our new planting of Chardonnay at the Vecino Vineyard in Potter Valley, 1% from Prior in Sonoma Valley, 2% from Lolonis in Redwood Valley, 1% from Brosseau in Chalone, 1% from Amaya Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and 1% Viognier from Morrison Ranch in Suisun Valley.
The various lots were fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and neutral French oak barrels, then racked to all older French oak barrels and left sur lies until the completion of the malolactic fermentation, and finally brought back to stainless for the complete blend and bottling.
No buttered oak wine here, this Chardonnay screams Burgundy with bright lemon cream, green apple, and fresh green herb flavors. A slight hint of French oak adds a pleasant vanilla spice on the finish.
