2022 Migration Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
In Stock
					
				
			Migration is dedicated to crafting wines from the finest cool-climate winegrowing regions highlighting lush fruit, bright acidity and impeccably balanced oak. This dedication has taken us to the storied vineyards of California’s Sonoma Coast, where layers of ocean fog cool the vines that grow in the famous Goldridge sandy loam soils. Reflecting this world-class terroir, this vibrant and sophisticated Chardonnay combines white flower aromatics with enticing lemon custard and stone fruit flavors.

			Wine Profile
Production Notes
			Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay - 51% estate fruit
		Winemaker Notes
			This dynamic and beautifully balanced Chardonnay offers aromas of pear, Fuji apple, brioche, lemon zest, toasted hazelnuts and orange blossom. On the palate, zesty citrus flavors are framed by energetic cool-climate acidity, with hints of crème brûlée and sweet baking spice emerging on the long, refreshing finish.
		Production
			While the 2022 growing season in the Sonoma Coast was compact and eventful, it produced wines with lush, refined tannins, opulent layers of fruit and lively natural acidity. Thanks to warm summer temperatures, we began harvesting our warmest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyard at ideal ripeness in mid-August. The arrival of a significant heat event near Labor Day gave the remaining vineyards a final push to ripeness and we concluded harvest in mid-September. Overall, the quality was spectacular. The Chardonnays have beautiful citrus and tropical aromas and lush, concentrated flavors, with the Pinot Noirs offering supple, refined tannin and luxurious layers of dark berry fruit.
