Handley Cellars Chardonnay

Grapes sourced from the organically farmed, CCOF Certified Handley Estate Vineyard surrounding the winery in the Deep End of Anderson Valley. Aromas of honeysuckle, warm apples, marzipan, and toast. With flavors of Gravenstein apples, Bosc pears, Meyer lemon, caramel and notes of toasted almonds. In the mouth, it is soft on the entry, round, and creamy on the mid palate, with crisp citrus hints on the finish. Barrel fermented and stirred on the lees through completion of fermentation. Aged for 10 months in all French oak barrels (20% new oak). Forty percent of this wine went through malolactic secondary fermentation, adding complexity and mouthfeel while preserving its fresh fruit flavors. No animal derived products were used in the production of this wine.
