Our Chardonnay exhibits ripe fruity flavors of pear, crisp green apple, vanilla and toasty caramel. A medium-bodied wine, 100% new barrel-fermented to integrate fruit and oak flavors. Partial malolactic fermentation adds a rich texture and buttery component on the palate. Ptarmigan Chardonnay is aged in the barrel for 6-8 months before bottling.

This is one of the newest plantings in the vineyard.  The grapes were harvested with higher sugars to ensure ripeness and give roundness to the fruit.  The fruit was whole cluster pressed, and the wine was allowed to ferment very slowly in 100% new American oak barrels..  It was the allowed to age and clarify without any fining treatment to aid.
