Pastorale Vineyard lies near the town of Freestone, where coastal fog, wind, and a long growing season help preserve freshness in the grapes. The site’s well-drained Goldridge soils contribute to the distinctive character of this coastal Chardonnay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe winery’s documented approach includes whole-cluster pressing, slow barrel fermentation, malolactic fermentation, and maturation in French oak puncheons. These methods bring texture and subtle oak influence to a wine rooted in the character of its vineyard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile individual vintages vary, Pastorale Chardonnay’s style combines citrus and white flower notes with layered fruit, a silky texture, and coastal minerality.
