Revelation Chardonnay 2023
Overview
 |
Our Revelation Chardonnay shows fragrant, fresh notes of tangerine, ripe pineapple, and baked apple. The palate is bright, textured, and intensely flavored with shades of lemon, tangerine, and cantaloupe. Mid palate is fresh, voluptuous, and supple characterized by honey and nectarine. The finish progresses seamlessly with persistent flavors of citrus pith, stone fruits, and hints of coconut. |
Wine Facts
VINIFICATION: The Revelation Chardonnay balances several styles of Chardonnay together into one cohesive wine that primarily expresses bright and fresh citrus minerality. Half of the wine was fermented cool in stainless steel tanks with no malolactic fermentation. A third was fermented in stainless steel with French oak staves and completed malolactic fermentation. A fifth of the blend was fermented in neutral and once-filled French oak barrels. The blended wine aged for three months on lees before filtration and bottling.
INTERESTING FACT: The artwork on Revelation’s label was painted by Washington artist Katie Small. Katie’s painting, titled “Lolita”, stands as a reminder that style and strength are more than just this season’s fashion, they come from within.
