The general niche of natural wine doesn’t pay Chardo much attention, and tends to be off chasing the next shiniest thing. However, given the chance to make a great Chardonnay and offer it to an appreciative, progressive and sophisticated group of wine lovers, everyone is in. My early wine education and apprenticeship had a heavy focus on Chard and Pinot, and I will always consider it a privilege to work with these noble varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking of: The fruit was hand-picked and immediately direct pressed utilizing a lengthy and gentle press cycle. The juice was barrel fermented with native yeasts. After fermentation is finished, the barrels are topped up and no further fussing is done. As a respectful nod to Burgundian tradition, one new low-toast barrel was used (~10% of the blend) to get microoxygenation and enhance its aging potential. No stirring, ‘sur lies’ for 10 months, racked once. Unfined, unfiltered, no additives including no added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Importer's Note\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jenny Francois","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53465483968877,"sku":"22216","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/leonandsonwine.com\/products\/2023-florez-wines-moonmilk-chardonnay-santa-cruz-california","provider":"Leon \u0026 Son Wine and Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
