Peters Vineyard, planted between 1991 and 1996 on land previously home to an apple orchard, is located just southwest of Sebastopol, not far from the Pacific. Morning fog and ocean breezes through the Petaluma Gap contribute significantly to the character of the fruit. Clone harvested was Dijon 4.
This Chablis inspired wine offers up beautiful citrus, tropical and wet stone flavors, highlighted by lemon essence and saline notes. The medium bodied frame is layered and textured, and buttressed by strong balancing acidity due to the partial M/L fermentation.
This crisp and clean Petaluma Gap Chablis inspired Chardonnay immediately conveys its citrus, saline and mineral laden aromatic and flavor profile from the moment the wine hits the glass. It has penetrating flavors and acidity and is the perfect food pairing wine due to its strong backbone and textured mouthfeel. It will develop additional nuance for years to come but is irresistible now.
