Sourced entirely from Ernest’s organically farmed estate vineyards in the Freestone-Occidental area, this Chardonnay blends fruit from the Joyce and Cleary Ranch sites. Aged 15 months in a mix of 500L puncheons (large wine casks) and sandstone jars, it strikes a delicate balance between floral lift and phenolic texture. Aromas of orange blossom, citrus peel, and beeswax rise from the glass, while the palate shows gentle viscosity and a quiet power, carried by coastal freshness and a clean, mineral finish.
