Quilt 2023 Napa Valley Chardonnay 750ml
93 points, Feb 2024, Tasting Panel
The Quilt Chardonnay winemaking process begins when we call a pick. We test sugar levels, acidity and pH, but more importantly, we want phenolic/physiological maturity. With hard, brown seeds, copper canes, and yellowing of the canopy and a slight tan to the golden clusters. Once in the cellar, we whole cluster light press. We barrel-ferment the wine in French oak (70% new) for 15 months. Fermentation can last 45 or more days with lees stirring during the extended fermentation. Then 100% malolactic fermentation while still on lees for creaminess and complexity.
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow with straw highlights. Aromas of juicy peach, honeysuckle, apple blossom and lemon balm. Bright and crisp on the palate with pear, yellow apple baked tart with notes of vanilla. This is a classic Napa Valley Chardonnay with bright acidity, medium bodied, and a smooth creamy finish. Complex and well-balanced with a lively finish.
