| Description: | Wine maker notes At Matanzas Creek, we have a long, satisfying relationship with Chardonnay. Our grape source primarily continues to be from vineyards high above the Alexander Valley; a small percentage of Bennett Valley fruit contributes a bright citrus character and granitic minerality to the power of the mountain fruit. During the winemaking process, the wine undergoes an indigenous fermentation and full malolactic; nine months of barrel aging in French oak barrels rounds out the aging. The resultant wine has vivid fruit character, with a generous mouthfeel and beautifully defined acidity. Producer Naturally defined by the three mountain peaks that envelop it, Bennett Valley existed for many years in quiet obscurity - bountifully sustaining an agricultural community that had all but forgotten the valley's pre-prohibition viticultural roots. It wasn't until 1977 with the founding of Matanzas Creek Winery that the area's winemaking potential was once again unearthed. But Matanzas Creek didn't just breathe new life into the area, it helped revolutionize the entire industry and, in the process, put Bennett Valley back on the map. And now, over thirty years after the release of its first vintage, Matanzas Creek stands at the forefront of California viticulture. Each day yields new and exciting discoveries, and the winery's future is as bright as its universally celebrated past. |
