Robert Mondavi Private Selection Chardonnay

Viticulture:
The fruit for our 2021 Chardonnay was sourced from vineyards where warm days and cool nights provide ideal ripening conditions for grapes to develop bright, ripe fruit flavors and crisp acidity. The grapes were harvested at night and in the early morning to preserve ideal acidity and sugar levels. Harvest ran from early September to November.

Winemaking:
To fully capture their fresh flavor, we whole cluster pressed the grapes before cold-fermenting the juice in stainless steel. The blend also underwent malolactic fermentation, resulting in a rich, creamy mouthfeel. We then aged the wine for seven months in French oak.
