WINE DESCRIPTION
DeLoach Estate Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley showcases the winery's commitment to sustainability and quality. Sourced from vineyard blocks featuring the Old Wente Clone, Montrachet Clone, and Clone 809, the grapes undergo a meticulous process. Harvested and whole-cluster pressed, the juice experiences native yeast fermentation, followed by an 11-month aging period in French oak. This enhances the wine's complexity and depth while preserving its delicate fruit notes. Notably, DeLoach Vineyards boasts a certified 17-acre estate vineyard and garden, recognized by Demeter USA for Biodynamic® farming. This prestigious certification aligns with DeLoach's dedication to sustainable practices, making it one of the select few wineries prioritizing harmony with the Earth's natural cycles.
