Product Description
From the revered Peter Michael Winery in Knights Valley, the 2022 La Carrière Chardonnay is a rare gem (only 1,508 cases produced) that marries Burgundian finesse with California’s sun-kissed fruit. Harvested before the season’s heatwave, this wine captures pristine balance and mineral-driven complexity.
Tasting Notes:
· Aroma: Delicate honeysuckle, ripe pear, and orange blossom with subtle almond croissant and wet chalk nuances
· Palate: Silken mid-weight texture with savory depth, layered citrus zest and crushed seashell minerality
· Finish: Lingering and refined—a testament to cool-climate precision
Vineyard & Craftsmanship:
· Terroir: Meticulously farmed estate vines in Knights Valley’s cool microclimate
· Harvest: Early pick (pre-heatwave) preserves acidity and freshness
· Aging: 10 months in French oak (30% new) for seamless integration
· Winemaking: Native yeast fermentation, partial malolactic
