Vineyard Notes
The 2021 growing season at Mi Sueño Winery faced both favorable and challenging conditions. We started the year off with very little rainfall, leading us into our second-year drought. Harvest began early with white varietals being harvested in early August. Low yields lead us to have more of a natural load on the vine. Intense flavors, small sized berries and a smooth and uneventful harvest season for all Chardonnay lovers.
Production Notes
This 40 plus year old hillside Chardonnay was 100% barrel fermented in new French oak. It was aged a total of 30 months, 80% new French oak and 20% stainless steel. The unique combination produces incredible texture yet retains a refreshing minerality and results in a perfectly balanced Chardonnay.
Tasting Notes
It begins with a beautiful straw, clear, 18K gold color that leads to aromas of a Burgundian style, tropical, rich, creamy, citrus orange peel, with minerality, vanilla, and lemon clustered notes. The palate confirms the aromas, with added citrus fruits, green apple, great acidity and a ripe sweet oak mouthwatering finish.
Food Pairing Notes
The quintessential pairing for this amazing wine would be crispy, cod fish tacos with avocado salsa, black pepper and coleslaw.

                                           STARTING IN THE

VINEYARD
The growing season in 2022 saw climate variability as the new normal. We had to adapt to the weather. Our experience paid off in the vineyard as we faced triple digit heat over five days in September. This was quickly followed by rain, which brought harvesting to a halt.
