Production notes
The grapes are hand picked at night and immediately whole cluster pressed at the winery. By using a custom champagne cycle that gently pushes the must, the rendered juice is clean, with hardly any solids or unwanted phenolic compounds.
Tasting notes
Artesa's Los Carneros Chardonnay displays great fruit freshness, intensity, and elegance. Partial barrel and malolactic fermentation, combined with lees stirring, produces a Chardonnay with added layers of complexity, focused and with bright acidity, imparting hints of Meyer lemon, nectarine, and lemongrass.
