This moderating effect provides a long growing season, allowing complex flavor to develop in the fruit, while protecting it from over-ripening. The 2004 vintage finished in a flurry of activity, as several weeks of unusually hot weather brought our Chardonnay vineyards to perfect ripeness, all within a few days of one another. This bottling is selected from several blocks of the vineyard and utilizes the Dijon clones 76 and 96 of Chardonnay, as well as a California selection known as “Tepesquet”. The result is a nuanced, complex wine that shows of the style and character of our Edna Ranch Estate. Winemaking & Cellar Information Fruit was harvested in the cool mornings and whole cluster pressed prior to cold-settling for 24 hours. Barrel lots were racked into 229 liter French oak barrels for fermentation, and we retained approximately 30% of the juice for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. As fermentation completed, the barrels were stirred twice weekly, building rich texture into the wine, and encouraging subtle flavor and aromatic development. Malolactic fermentation was conducted on a lot-by-lot basis, softening acidity and bringing nuance to the aromatics. Final selection occurred in late July, with assemblage shortly after, allowing several months of integration prior to bottling in December. Analytical Information: Alcohol:14.1% T.A.:6.15 g/L pH:3.59 Brix at Harvest:23.7 – 24.8 Tasting Notes Polished and balanced, this Chardonnay is laced with aromas of honeysuckle, tangerine, and lime blossom. Richly textured, the elegant oak tones frame these crisp fruit and floral aromas. <ul style="padding-left: 15px"> <li>SKU: 1506</li> </ul> Other products in the category <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Category9" title="Library Wines">Library Wines</a>: <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product78" title="Pinot Noir Vertical 4-pack ">Pinot Noir Vertical 4-pack </a> -- 1999-2002 Pinot Noir Vertical 4-pack</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product80" title="Syrah Vertical 4-pack ">Syrah Vertical 4-pack </a> -- 1999-2002 Syrah Vertical 4-pack</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product79" title="Chardonnay Vertical 4-pack ">Chardonnay Vertical 4-pack </a> -- 2001-2004 Chardonnay Vertical 4-pack</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product74" title="2001 Tolosa Pinot Noir">2001 Tolosa Pinot Noir</a> -- Aromatic notes of rose petal and black fruit leap out of the glass.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product73" title="2002 Tolosa Pinot Noir">2002 Tolosa Pinot Noir</a> -- Brooding, floral, raspberry and cherry aroma with a hint of mocha.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product2" title="2003 Tolosa Pinot Noir">2003 Tolosa Pinot Noir</a> -- 91 points Wine Enthusiast, Silver Medal SF Chronicle 2007</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product76" title="2001 Tolosa Syrah">2001 Tolosa Syrah</a> -- Nice density of color, with aromas of spice, white pepper, violet and aged has given it a good texture.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product53" title="2004 Tolosa Pinot Noir 750ml">2004 Tolosa Pinot Noir 750ml</a> -- Quintessential cool-climate Pinot Noir, with crushed rose petal, dried cherry and orange zest aromatics.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product21" title="2003 Tolosa Syrah">2003 Tolosa Syrah</a> -- 92 points, Wine Enthusiast & Gold Medal in SF Chronicle 2007</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product5" title="2003 Tolosa Chardonnay">2003 Tolosa Chardonnay</a> -- 92 points, Editors Choice in Wine Enthusiast Top 100 in 2005!</li></ul> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com" title="Tolosa Winery Products">Tolosa Winery Products</a> <a href="http://www.tolosawinery.com">Tolosa Winery</a> Tolosa Winery <a href="http://www.nexternal.com" title="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</a> powered by Nexternal
