Scribe Winery Along The Palms Sonoma Valley Chardonnay 2021

The Chardonnay grapes come from the Sonoma Valley AVA, a subregion with the Sonoma County. Sonoma Valley lies between the Mayacamas Mountains to the east and Sonoma Mountains to the west. The climate is influenced by its sheltered position between the hills, which results in a dry, warm and sunny mesoclimate, gently moderated by its proximity to San Pablo Bay to the south. The estate vines are Robert Young clones which have been grafted onto rootstock 101-14. The vines are planted in the deep, fertile Huichica loam soils of the estate. The vines are VSP trained on a bilateral spur pruned cordon and are sustainably farmed. Generally, leaf coverage is left on the fruiting zone of the vine to minimise any potential sun burn and keep the fruit fresh and with balanced acidity resulting in vibrant wines full of natural freshness. The vines are hand-harvested in the cool of the night.
