Consultant Michael Cruse makes this Chardonnay for Hirsch and winemaker Jasmine Hirsch thinks his sparkling wine chops really show up in this wine. Hirsch has two Chardonnay plantings including 30 year old vines which offer the textured exotic fleshyhoneysuckle character in this wine. Over vintage on clean lees in 2022 we bottled it early ginger and lemon cream a creamy lemon curd almond cream saline character that brightens up the whole affair with singing minerality.

The 2022 Chardonnay Estate is fabulous. In fact it?s one of best Chardonnays I have tasted so far in this irregular vintage. Painfully low yields resulted in an especially dense almost phenolic tropical Chardonnay. This was pressed heavy and then bottled early and those decisions paid off big time.
