2009 Native Yeast Chardonnay

Winemaker David Munksgard found distinctly different yeast strains at three of our top Chardonnay blocks at Iron Horse. He fermented each block separately, then blended them together to make this wine, which Wine & Spirits Magazine describes as “… a combination of depth and delicacy … on the level of a Grand Cru.”

Food Pairing
