Wheeler Vineyard’s Chardonnay was planted in 1977 on elevated gravelly alluvial terrace. It is located in Tres Pinos. Kevin Olson Vineyard is one of the coldest vineyards in California. This is where we get the nice acid backbone in the wine. It is located right off Highway 101 in Prunedale, and grows in sandy soils. It was planted in 1999. Wheeler Vineyard and Kevin Olson Vineyard are organically farmed.

BREA Chardonnay Central Coast 2023

WINEMAKING NOTES: We picked the fruit at 21 – 21.5 brix to capture a nice balance of acidity and fruit. It was a much later harvest than the previous vintage due to the late Spring – we picked a full month later than the year before for both vineyards.

The grapes went direct to press and the juice was barrel fermented using only native yeasts. The wine aged in neutral French Oak barrels for 7 months and went through full malolactic fermentation, allowing to give this wine a nice balance of depth and acidity.
