2010 Hirsch Vineyards Estate Chardonnay

As with all the wines from Hirsch, the purpose of our Chardonnay is to bring you a profound expression of this unique vineyard site. Through our farming and winemaking, we strive to bring the acidity and minerality of the site forward, with fruit and oak playing a secondary role. There are less than 4 acres of Chardonnay vines planted at Hirsch, and 100% of the fruit is kept for the estate.

Made by Hirsch winemaker Ross Cobb, the 2010 Chardonnay was pressed and transferred to French oak barrels, approximately 25% new. Primary and malolactic fermentations occurred in barrel. Very minimal lees stirring was employed, and the wine was not racked until just before bottling.
