2021 Vintage Notes
The 2021 Vintage had wonderful warm and mild weather during flowering and bloom leading to above average yields and good fruit cluster uniformity.
2021 Cuvée Beton Chardonnay
The 2021 Cuvée Beton Chardonnay is our third vintage to be fermented and aged in our 100% Amphora concrete vessels. By being completely neutral of any oak this Chardonnay allows us to further view our site in a new interpretation and through a slightly different lens. As we continue to fine tune and evolve this wine year after year we are very excited by the results of working with concrete amphoras. This Chardonnay is bright and mineral driven with fresh aromas of quince, and stone fruit flavors with mouthwatering acidity.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Our winemaker suggests oysters, oysters and more oysters with our Cuvée Beton Chardonnay! But really any shellfish goes well and sushi or sashimi always shine with this wine.
