2008 Finch Hollow Chardonnay

Full Bottle (750ml)  $95.00 Magnum Bottle (1.5L)  $190.00

Quantity:

This Finch Hollow Chardonnay is made of grapes from a special vineyard called “Finch Hollow”. It is a small plot that in previous years was harvested by flocks of Finches and Blackbirds. After all our vineyards were netted and completely harvested by ourselves, our Winemaker Consultant Dimitri Tchelistcheff, noted that it was a distinct terroir which contributed an intense tropical fruit character. In this unique setting the vines grow in shallow soil on a steep hillside. Year after year we are impressed with the chardonnay from Finch Hollow. It is barrel fermented in new French oak, and sur-lie aged with weekly stirring. The result is a bright, sunshine yellow wine with floral aromas and ripe mouth filling fruit – an elegant wine from an amazing harvest sure to make those you share it with feel privileged. This wine is ready to enjoy now.

2008 Reserve Chardonnay

Full Bottle (750ml)  $95.00

Quantity:

The Reserve Chardonnay is made from the same barrels of wine as the Finch Hollow Chardonnay. The Finch Hollow is that vineyard which was preferred by the birds prior to its netting. Winemaker Consultant Dimitri Tchelistcheff had us use wine from the top half of the barrels, a unique winemaking step that leads up to bottling it unfined and unfiltered so as to retain all the subtle flavor elements. This along with aging 10 months in new French oak barrels and complete malo-lactic fermentation produced our most full-bodied wine with rich canary hues and true varietal essence that has an amazingly long, smooth finish gratifying even the red wine lover. We suggest enjoying this wine through 2013.

Everyone loves the Tempranillo and the 2007 has quickly sold out! Fortunately Tempranillo is a wine fresh and ideal for early release and does not profit from the several years of extra aging in the same way as do our other red wines so the 2008 is now available!
