2013 Chardonnay, Silva Vineyard, Sonoma Coast
This wine has classic Chardonnay aromas of lemon oil, apples, and pears.  This particular vintage has some tropical notes of pineapple, coconut, and banana.  The palate has great acidity that balanced with the neutral oak integration and creamy mouth feel from the stirred lees.

Silva Vineyard: Silva Vineyard is a magical place on the Western side of Cotati.   The cool foggy mornings and evenings make this site ideal for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  The grapes get to have long hang time without getting over ripe.  The Chardonnay grapes are picked in mid-October which is 3-4 weeks after most everyone else has picked their Chardonnay.

Winemaking Techniques: The grapes were all hand-harvested by Mike and his crew.  Then the grapes were taken to the winery were they were whole cluster pressed. Epernay II (CEG by Uvaferm) Yeast was used to inoculate the fermentation and was 100% barrel fermented in neutral French oak.   Malolactic fermentation was inhibited and the lees were stirred twice a week for 4 months.

Winemaker’s Notes
“If you don’t like Chardonnay… You will like mine…”  That is what I usually tell people when they tell me they don’t like Chardonnay. This wine has a great balance of acidity, roundness and complex aromas and flavors.  The racing acidity is cut by the roundness of the barrel fermentation and lees integration.  The lees give the wine a creamy mouth feel which is usually received from secondary malolactic fermentation.   Even though the wine was barrel fermented the oak is subtly noticeable without being the dominant aroma and flavor.

Vendor Details

Engracia

My Grandmother, Engracia Perez Hernandez, fled Cuba in 1960 with my mother due to the political events that were taking place during that time. She immigrated to the United States without knowing the language and without having a job. She had very little money and she was uncertain of what the future would hold for her and my mother.

In her 47 years of life in Florida, she was extremely successful. She raised a daughter on her own, owned her own home and was never in debt. She was full of life and dedicated herself to her family every day until she passed away in the summer of 2007. The passion she had for herself, her daughter, and her grandchildren to give them the best life they could ever have was incredible. I feel that same passion within me. It is this passion that confirms my belief that you can accomplish anything you want in life as long as you stay focused on your goals and work hard for them.

I left Florida in 2005 to pursue my dream of making wine. Several years later I am realizing my dream and I continue to feel my grandmother’s drive, passion, and love within me.

“There is nothing better in life than great wine, great food and great company”

Be sure to enjoy this wine with friends and loved ones; the wine will taste much better.
