100% Chardonnay. The 2020 Jaine Chardonnay was crafted from two vineyard sites in Washington State’s Columbia Valley: Conner Lee and Stillwater Creek. Located on the upper east end of the Wahluke Slope atop sandy glacial marine sediment deposited by the Missoula floods of the Pleistocene era, Conner Lee is one of the most highly regarded and recognized Chardonnay sites in Washington State. Stillwater Creek is an award-winning vineyard located on a steep, south-facing rise on the Royal Slope, and is best known for innovative vineyard management and unique selection of varietal clones. Both vineyards use sustainable and organic farming methods whenever possible.

The vineyards were hand-harvested early in the mornings of September 8^th – September 23^rd, 2020 before being whole cluster pressed. Fermented using a combination of native yeasts with no malolactic fermentation allowed post primary, the grapes were allowed to maintain freshness and verve. The use of white wine specific presses and stainless-steel tanks during fermentation resulted in more natural aromas and minimized grape manipulation during aging. Lightly fined and sterile filtered to maintain its perfume and clarity. Over the course of 8 months, this wine was individually evaluated over 40 times by our winemaking team, and finally bottled June 8^th – 10^th, 2021. Only 860 cases were produced.
