The 2018 Pisoni Estate Chardonnay was in barrel for 18 months (50% New oak). This is a small production chardonnay with 1080 bottles total, from three clones at Pisoni Vineyards. It is sourced from very rocky (granite) soils. Yields are low and fermentation is done with 100% native yeast which brings a very slow and complex fermentation. This often takes 4 to 5 months to ferment. Wine then rests in barrel with very little stirring. Bottling is done with no fining or filtration.

Der Chardonnay von Pisoni Vineyard ist Jahr für Jahr einer der beeindruckendsten Chardonnays aus Kalifornien. Duftet nach Steinobst, weissen Blüten und Ananas. Ein körperreicher Wein mit sensationeller Mineralität, lebendig, vollmundig und frisch im Gaumen mit unglaublicher Länge.

The wines of Pisoni Vineyards have bags of character, deep colours and remarkable textural qualities – the result of highland terrain and low yields. These exceptional, ageworthy wines owe their vibrant, expressive aromas to the unique combination of fog and cooling breezes that characterise the terroir in which they were grown.
