Chardonnay production at Colene Clemens began in 2013 with purchased fruit. We have since planted 6 acres on our estate, and 2019 marks the third vintage sourced entirely from our estate property. Over the course of 11 months in the barrel, we strive to build texture, flavor, and body from the lees and barrel time, creating a wine that is supple and layered with firm underlying acidity. 

Winemaking: Comprised of Dijon 76 & 95, the fruit is hand-picked and sorted before
being gently pressed and cold settled, then barreled down. This vintage, we brought
together a blend that is 24% new oak via 500-liter puncheons, 42% used French oak,
and 34% stainless steel. Both primary and malolactic fermentation occur in barrel,
while the wine is aged on its fine lees with minimal stirring for 11 months before being
blended and bottled in February of 2022.
