Iconic Wines 'Heroine' Chardonnay, Sonoma County, USA 2021
This vineyard retains a remarkable amount of acid balanced by the concentration of the old vines and particularly rocky soil. It embodies what Heroine is all about- both elegance and power. The grapes were picked late-September and immediately whole cluster pressed over 6 hours using a champagne cycle method. The wine was then settled for 24 hours before racking into neutral French oak barrels to ferment. The wine fermented naturally through primary and secondary over four months, finally finishing in February! The long, slow fermentation produced a wine both floral, and somewhat tropical. The rich body is balanced by the bright acid of the hillside fruit.
