2024 Chardonnay, Hammer Olsen Vineyard, Anderson Valley

Selected from a few standout lots and barrels, this Chardonnay is true to Anderson Valley’s heritage of growing crisp, acidic white wines. After picking and pressing, the juice is transferred immediately to barrel and closely monitored as natural yeast transforms its signature green apple notes into richer, maple-like aromas. At the same time, malolactic fermentation adds a creamy, caramel depth. Once the lees are removed, the result is a beautifully balanced wine with hints of lemon bar and marzipan. Its citrusy brightness pairs perfectly Bollie’s Mollies cheese -- both tangy and long-lasting.
