Estate Chardonnay
The Estate Chardonnay is fermented and aged sur-lie in 100% new French oak barrels that are stirred twice weekly to create our Jarvis Estate signature style, featuring subtle nuances of toasty vanilla with honeysuckle aromas and a long, soft finish.
Cool breezes from the San Francisco Bay help provide a long “hang time” for our hillside vineyards, allowing the grapes to mature to perfection. This full-bodied Estate Chardonnay spent nine months in new French oak barrels with sur-lie aging, yet remains crisp after light fining and filtration. A delightful golden hue and vibrant aromas of honeysuckle and tropical fruits welcome you. The aromas are followed by a refreshing Chardonnay that is striking by itself as an aperitif wine or a food accompaniment. Be confident in pairing this wine with your lighter dishes. This wine is ready to enjoy upon release and should continue to drink beautifully for four to six years from the vintage date.
