A Chardonnay Rooted in Terroir and Craftsmanship
The vineyards, planted uncultivated in 2014, are located on the very land where we live and craft our wines. The grapes come from our organically farmed vineyards, cultivated with low yields to preserve the harmony and longevity of each plant.

Winemaking & Aging
This Chardonnay was pressed with whole clusters. Following alcoholic fermentation, it underwent malolactic fermentation during its 20-month aging on lees in first-use French oak barrels.
Our barrels are toasted with volcanic stones, enhancing the fruit and minerality of this unique terroir. This technique achieves a perfect balance of complexity and elegance that will evolve beautifully over time.
Filtered and bottled in January 2023.
