Ferren Wines
Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2017
Sonoma Coast
Ferren’s Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a barrel select blend of all all the single vineyard Chardonnays. No less astounding in texture, depth or acidity, it is simply barrels that offer more in their youth and the tiniest touch less oak.
Vineyard
Lancel Creek Vineyard is perched above the tiny hamlet of Occidental on the remote Sonoma Coast. This secluded, two-acre site was prepared and planted by Ulises Valdez. The pale, off-white Goldridge soil provides just enough nutrients and moisture for these densely planted vines to ripen a small amount of intensely aromatic and flavorful Chardonnay. The vineyard faces the Pacific Ocean, a mere five miles to the west. The combined influence of the cold Pacific and the warming afternoon sun produces a wine of incredible richness and sublime balance.
Winemaking
Chardonnays at Ferren are cold-pressed, then barrel-fermeneted with native yeasts in French oak barriques. They are aged 1 year in 25% new French oak, then an blended and aged an additional 6 months in stainless steel barrels until bottling.
