Vineyard Notes
Located in the Los Carneros AVA in Napa Valley, Hyde Vineyard’s East facing slopes provide ideal sun exposure when paired with the cool coastal winds that blow from San Pablo Bay through Carneros. Considered one of the superstar vineyards of the Napa Valley, the grapes from this location are perfect for crafting our single vineyard Chardonnay.
Vintage Notes
A very nice growing season filled with dry conditions and an extended sunny summer, 2013 delivered another excellent vintage. Optimal maturity arrived effortlessly but with a little higher acidity than normal. Nevertheless, the wines show great depth and personality.
Winemaker's Notes
Whole cluster pressed. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, 20% new. Aged on the lees for 24 months with minimal racking and minimal stirring. Full malolactic fermentation to soften acidity. Bottled non filtered.
