In our ongoing quest for purity of expression we continue to shift toward more neutral élevage for this enjoy-it-young chardonnay: splitting half of the fruit between concrete egg and stainless steel vessels. The remainder fermented and aged in french oak, only 15% new and barely perceptible in the finished wine’s aromas of wet-stone, lime and oyster-shell. Malolactic fermentation provides a round, glycerin finish that balance the wine’s vibrant mouth-watering acidity.

"The 2021 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is fabulous. Deep and layered, with remarkable density, the 2021 is seriously impressive at this level, or any level, for that matter. Lemon confit, chamomile, spice and apricot are some of the many notes that grace this exquisite appellation-level Chardonnay from Failla. -- Antonio Galloni"

A fresh white, with zingy acidity that dances around the core of lemon, apple and pineapple, plus a thread of crunchy sea salt minerality. Theres plenty of verve and energy on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now. 2,582 cases made.
