Wine made in amphora often exhibits earthy minerality, complex aromas of herbs and spices, and pure, fruit-forward flavors unaltered by oak aging. This ancient method embraces minimal intervention techniques and seeks a deeper connection to tradition and terroir.

TASTING

This wine is a pale straw color with expressive aromas of white nectarine, bright citrus, orange blossom and wildflower honey. The palate is vibrant and well-balanced, showcasing bright acidity and a creamy mid-palate that adds depth and texture. A juicy, lingering finish highlights the wine’s freshness, elegance and overall harmony.

Winemaker Information
WINEMAKING
Each vintage, a portion of our Chardonnay is set aside and gently aged in terracotta clay amphoras. This unique vessel respects the fruit and imparts mineral nuances that enhance the wine’s structure and earthy complexity. This wine was crafted using fruit from the H south and B North blocks of Les Pierres Vineyard, chosen for its vibrant acidity and bright lemon-lime flavors at harvest – perfect for amphora aging. We currently have just four small amphoras, each holding approximately 70 gallons, making this an exceptionally limited release.
