La Follette California Chardonnay Los Primeros 2023

Named after California's pioneering wine growers, Los Primeros is a masterclass in balanced Chardonnay production. Sourced from 100% Sonoma County fruit, this wine employs a strategic split fermentation: 53% stainless steel without malolactic fermentation preserves crystalline fruit character, while 47% ages in new and neutral French oak with full malolactic conversion, adding richness and complexity. Beautifully textured yet never heavy, with the kind of harmony that only comes from thoughtful winemaking.
