type: Product
description: ***BOTTLING MID-JUNE, SHIPPING SHORTLY AFTER*** We’re pleased to present our first barrel-fermented white wine of the 2025 vintage: a gorgeous Carneros Chardonnay from a renowned Napa estate! A program of this caliber takes years (sometimes decades) to build.

With previous vintages all priced at the $60+/bottle mark, the white wine lovers among you will be quite happy to find it available today for... $22/bottle! Malolactic fermentation is frequently mentioned on many a wine’s tech sheet, but rarely explained. For those of you newer on your wine journey (or wouldn't mind a refresher), here’s what’s actually happening: sharp malic acid is converted into softer lactic acid, which stylistically gives a wine a rounder, creamier texture.
