2021 Hudson Vineyards Chardonnay | Carneros, Napa Valley California 750ml

Hudson produces grapes of distinction from 200 acres of estate vineyards situated in the heart of the rolling hills of Napa Valley's Carneros District. Forty years of meticulous winegrowing and winemaking experience goes into each bottle of Hudson wine. Our deep understanding of the intricate combinations of soil, climate, rootstock, clone, and scion, combined with our management of each vineyard block, allows us to produce premium wines with an intense varietal expression found only at Hudson.
The 2021 Chardonnay showcases a combination of 4 distinct blocks from the Hudson Estate planted to Heritage Shot Wente clone. We hand select barrels from each site to create a Chardonnay that fully expresses the elegant and balanced style of Hudson Vineyards.
The fruit was picked by hand at night, whole cluster pressed, and barrel fermented utilizing native yeast in 60% new Francois Freres & Damy French-forest oak barrels. The wine is stirred regularly while being aged sur lie, then settled and bottled after 14 months. 1638 cases produced. | Hudson Vineyards
