The 2018 vintage is the “First Harvest” of Mystic Winery and the Chardonnay was carefully hand selected and treated with care and attention through every stage of processing. The body is bright lemon yellow, full of complex and pleasant fruit aromas such as white peach, white pear, citrus and grapefruit, with subtle yeast complexity. On the palate, the acid is balanced and fresh, combined with moderate texture and weight from lees stirring and finishing with a touch of minerality.

Winemaking
The white grapes are destemmed without crushing and are gently fed into the small membrane press where they are lightly squeezed. The resulting juice is fermented at cool temperature in a variety of French oak barrels as well as small stainless-steel tanks for approximately eleven days. The Chief winemaker allowed a portion of the juice to undergo fermentation with natural wild yeast that arrive with the grapes. To retain structure of the wine only a small portion of the blend will go through Malolactic fermentation, ensuring the wine maintains elegance with age. The wines yeast lees are then stirred until the chief winemaker is satisfied with the aroma and texture of the wine.
