Today, all Matanzas Creek Winery estate vineyards are sustainably farmed and are certified under the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance.
WINEMAKING
Individual blocks from our best vineyards of Sonoma County were harvested in the beginning to middle of September, native fermentation separately in new and used French oak barrels. After alcoholic fermentation concluded, all barrels were allowed to go through malolactic fermentation and continued aging on the lees. Barrels were stirred monthly, helping to build a creamy texture and develop delicious aromas. The Chardonnays were evaluated and chosen to bring avors, texture, and tension, creating a deliciously drinkable wine that can be paired easily with food or enjoyed alone. Total aging time: 8 months on the lees, bottled July 2019.
