Vineyard \Citrine is a blend of four different vineyards with an average vine age of almost 40 years, all in white mineral soils: Rorick Heritage, Haynes, Herron Lake, and Brosseau.
Soil Rorick Heritage: limestone, schist. Haynes: gravel, white volcanic ash. Herron Lake: quartz, mixed volcanic. Brosseau: limestone, granite>
Vinification The Chardonnay grapes were gently whole cluster pressed and lightly settled. The juice was barrel fermented with native yeast and underwent full native malolactic fermentation.
Aging Aged on the lees for 11 months in barrel, bottled un-fined and unfiltered.
Notes Citrine is a gemstone of “yellow quartz”. Citrine Chardonnay is made with an eye towards a balance of golden California sun and a gentle kiss of minerality.
