For Folktale, they have focused on three goals. First, it's about the grapes. Organically grown, sustainably farmed, and plant the right grapes in the right places. Second, celebrate the fruit and the vintage, which means they do not manipulate or use any additives to affect the wine. What Mother Nature gave them that year is in the bottle. Lastly, make clean, delicious wines. In the end, the wine needs to taste great.
Winery's Notes: "The 2022 vintage gave us a late start, so we were picking about 20 days later than normal. This extended hang time allowed for amazing development of flavor and complexity. Our first vintage of 100% Cahrdonnay benefited from exceptional quality. Grapes were fermented on skins for 14 days before being pressed off and aged in neutral French oak for 10 months. Flavors of stone fruits, like peaches and apricot, play with notes of orange peel, honeysuckle, lemon zest, and pineapple cake. Bright acidity and clean mouthfeel make me think that skin-fermention will be the savoir of Chardonnay."
