Silenus Winery

BLEND:
100% Chardonnay from the Matthiasson Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley

Harvest date: September 20, 2018
Bottling date: July 15, 2019

The grapes were harvested at the peak of ripeness and gently whole-cluster pressed. After settling for two days, the juice was moved to French oak barrels, 30% new, for fermentation. The wine was aged “sur lie” or on the lees for a full 10 months to build complexity and mouth-feel.
