2017 Kelleher "Three Sister's" Chardonnay
Russian River Valley
Fruit for our 2017 Three Sister’s Chardonnay is sourced from the organic Marimar Estate’s Don Miguel Vineyard which is located in the southwest corner of the Russian River Valley. The fruit is grown in a cool microclimate which benefits from Pacific Ocean coastal fog. The wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel and used French oak barrels. The old-world winemaking technique of batonnage, the French term for stirring the lees, provides a balanced wine with a beautifully silky mid palate.
