We are proud to bring that same expertise to the Russian River Valley to create our first California wine, Bennett Family Chardonnay. Working with some of the best talent in the region, we’ve made this wine using hand selected grapes from the finest vineyards. The result is a wine of uncompromised quality, a wine worthy of our family’s heritage. After whole-cluster fruit pressing, the juice was immediately transferred to French oak barrels for fermentation for 10 days. After undergoing malolactic fermentation, the wine was left sur lie and stirred weekly. The wine was lightly filtered prior to bottling.
