Brookdale Mason Road Chenin Blanc 2021

From vineyards planted majority 2016 adding a jolt of freshness. Vines from 1985 and 1993 add depth and concentration building complexity with terroir, rather than tools. Pre-cooled fruit is destemmed and crushed before being lightly pressed. Majority free-run juice is used that is settled overnight. Fermentation occurred in stainless-steel tanks. The wine is aged for 10 months on the lees. A small percentage of barrel-aged Chenin Blanc is added before bottling for added complexity
