2022 Waugh Russian River Chardonnay

Brix: 23.3 – 24.2

Ph:  3.58 – 3.65                     

% Alcohol:  14.09%

Production:   700 cases

No Malo-lactic fermentation and no new oak used in the aging of Waugh Chardonnay. The wine was barrel fermented in 100% neutral oak and the lees was stirred at minimum once a week, which accounts for its incredible mouth feel.

From a Brix (Sugar) standpoint, this was going to be a crisp and acidic driven vintage, but mother nature also gave us incredible fruit flavors and depth at a lower sugar content. Ripe apples and pastries, dried apricots and pear flavors dominate with a creamy midpalate with nice richness from lees stirring, with plenty of acidity and a plush tasting finish. Enjoy!

Enjoy! Cheers!
