Tasting Note

A new, limited-edition white wine joins us just in time for Spring’s arrival. Meet the 2020 Native Chardonnay, fermented with only wild yeast and over-vintaged for 18 months. This was a high-risk, high-reward wine to make. The idea behind over-vintaging the wines was to get more complex secondary aromas. You give up a little bit of primary aromatic complexity but gain depth and richness on the palate. Native ferments can be tricky. They take longer and don't always finish dry. You have to be patient, have a very sanitary cellar, and know tricks to coax the yeast and bacteria to finish fermentation. The result is a delicious Chardonnay with far more complexity, density, and diversity of flavours and aromas. The 2020 Native is rich but respectful with red apple skin, orchard fruits, pie crust, and vibrant acidity. This was a special experiment made to give you an unpolished look into our cellar and we won't be making it again, so get it while it's still around!

Donelan's Native Chardonnay Limited Edition is an unparalleled wine of exceptional quality from California's renowned vineyards. This wine blossoms with vivid notes of lemon zest, fresh pear, and mineral undertones, combining a delightful balance of acidity and ripeness. Its distinctive texture, drawn from integrated oak ageing, invigorates the palate. This limited edition Chardonnay is lauded for its unparalleled complexity and depth, beautifully exhibiting the encounter between Californian terroir and the intense dedication to viticulture. Indeed, a decadent, hauntingly memorable foray into the realm of premium white wines.
