"The 2007 Eagles' Perch Chardonnay is made of fruit grown high up on our mountainous property, overlooked by an ancient oak tree that houses a pair of golden eagles. is is the first vintage of this wine we made from 100% Dijon clones. It was harvested and pressed using a “champagne” method to lessen bitterness and increase juice phenolics. We let it settle for 24 hours, then racked to French oak barrels - 40% new, 60% one to three years old. e lees were stirred once per month for five months. This wine was specically crafted to highlight its complexity in all realms; aroma, flavor and mouthfeel." - Winemaker Notes
