2022 Spirit of the Beehive

VINEYARDS: This is a blend of two different vineyards: Chardonnay from the Massa Vineyad in Carmel Valley AVA and Escolle Vineyard in Santa Lucia Highlands AVA.

WINEMAKING: The two were fermented in stainless steel and barrel aged for 6 months before bottling. The wine then underwent secondary fermentation and aged for 40 months in bottle before being disgorged by hand. The wine was finished with 2 g/l of Meadowfoam honey. We produced 2 barrels.

TASTING NOTES: Yellow Apple, Meyer Lemon, Honeycomb.
