It is with great excitement that we release the next Estate Vanumanutagi Chardonnay! This storied vineyard has been producing phenomenal wines for over twenty years. Originally part of our family ranch, the property was sold to Fanny Stevenson, Robert Louis Stevenson’s widow. After several owners since, the property was purchased by Leonard Ware. He and his family planted the Vanumanutagi vineyard and have been phenomenal caretakers of this beautiful property. A long hang time in the fall of 2006 allowed these chardonnay grapes to achieve a great flavor profile. Hand harvested and brought just next door to our winery, this wine went through both primary fermentation and malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. Allowed to sit on the lees and not stirred (“sur lee” process), this wine was able to pick up some soft, subtle nuances otherwise not likely to occur. With lots of tropical fruit and a nice apple finish this is a wine that will go with a lot of different foods! We suggest you serve this wine chilled, not cold to fully appreciate its true personality.
