Production Details Flagship white wine produced entirely from a single Stony Brook Chardonnay vineyard. 100% barrel-fermented in 65% new French oak barriques and matured for 12 months. Early harvesting preserved vibrant acidity and ageing potential, while fermentation at high turbidity built texture and depth without lees stirring.
