This barrel aged varietal is composed entirely of Chardonel grapes, a hybrid of Chardonnay & Seyval specifically suited to thrive in our terroir. These grapes develop remarkable acids during the growing season that shine in the finished product. "Sur lie" is the French term that means "on the lees." This respected method of aging involves leaving the wine in contact with yeast cells and other solids, a process which allows the wine to develop extensive complexity and display otherwise untapped potential. Meticulous care with close observation, regular stirring, and attention to detail is necessary to successfully navigate this aging process. A taste of this wine will leave no doubt that our efforts were well rewarded!
