2022 Durell Vineyard Chardonnay, 1.5L

We are fortunate to work with two outstanding Durell Vineyard Chardonnay blocks that blend with synergy and result in exceptional wines each vintage. These two blocks of Old Wente clone Chardonnay have formed the Sojourn Durell Chardonnay since 2012. The 2022 vintage offered lower yields and the Chardonnay berries were tiny and sparse leading to greater intensity in the wine. We picked the blocks about a week apart and both blocks were picked at night to retain freshness and allow us to extract only the highest quality juice. This wine offers a unique combination of apple and citrus fruit aromas with layers of minerality. It is expansive yet balanced, with great acidity, firm structure, and a long finish.
