Hyde de Villaine (HdV) Chardonnay is distinctive from its Californian counterparts for its minerality, structure and natural acidity, all of which provide a fresh, seamless wine that pairs beautifully with food. Sourced from older-vine blocks at Hyde Vineyard, the 30-plus-year-old vines produce a wine of character and concentration. This wine is aged in French oak 11 months, 80% barrels (20% new) and 20% foudre plus an additional 14 months of bottle aging. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Reminiscent of grand cru Burgundy, this wine will age gracefully for two decades.
