The cool nighttime harvest preserved these whole Chardonnay clusters that were then lightly pressed to extract their succulent juice, while avoiding skin and seed contact as much as possible. Aromas of spicy nutmeg and freshly baked brioche tantalize the senses, while the fresh, wholesome juiciness of Golden Delicious apples and Bartlett pears shine. The rich and silky mouthfeel, enhanced with hand stirring each barrel twice a month, leaves a decadent finish of brown butter and cream.
