Tasting Notes
Sisters Chardonnay is a wine with lifted floral aromas and great length and complexity on the palate. Sisters also has the ability to evolve beautifully in the bottle and to reward patience with more complex aromas of white truffle and more lifted floral notes to augment the flinty, wet stone, fresh citrus and peach qualities the wine has in its youth.
Production Notes
The grapes were whole-cluster pressed, settled in tank for an average of 24 hours, then barrel fermented with wild yeast and natural acidity in a combination of 25% new 600-liter puncheons and 75% neutral French oak from diverse French coopers. These were made to our specification with a long and light toast, and often with proprietary wood sources that reduce the flavor impact of the barrel. Full malolactic fermentation was completed in each vessel, and after the wines was blended it was put into a stainless-steel tank with its lees for 6 months prior to bottling. Barrel fermentation and leaving the wines on its lees allows the wine to remain basically untouched, and unmoved until it is getting ready for assembly and bottling.
