Chardonnay

French for my brother, Mon Frere is a tribute to those special friends who feel like family. Mon Frere Winery champions the very best in quality wine making and exceptional value from California.

The 2024 California growing season was marked by a mild, even summer and extended hang time, producing wine grapes with excellent balance, moderate sugars, vibrant acidity, and expressive varietal character.

Grapes were gently whole cluster pressed. The juice was settled off heavy lees and tank fermented. Temperatures were in the 65-72°F degree range. Using Burgundy Isolates yeast, the wine underwent only partial malolactic fermentation in tank. Aged in 100% French oak for 10 months.

Aromas of citrus, pear and stone fruit lined with floral notes and a hint of nutmeg and vanilla on the finish. A rich, round mouthfeel with perfectly balanced acidity and minerality followed by a refreshing finish.
