2019 Two Squared Chardonnay

Beskrivelse

Two Squared wines are designed to be approachable in both flavor and price.
Opulent, fruit-driven and generous, with a backbone of acidity and elegance,
these wines are produced by masterful blending across terroirs evocative of
Napa Valley’s modern style. TWO² is the best of both worlds in its inspiration
and creation.

WINEMAKER NOTES
2019 provided us with an unprecedented growing season. Moderate to cooler
temperatures in early spring resulted in a delayed start followed by showers
during bloom in May. However, continual moderate temperatures from June
through August allowed vines to balance their growth. By early August, as cluster
size was fully developed and overall growth more harmonious, it was clear
that 2019 would be a memorable vintage. To retain freshness, concentration
and protect the supple flavors in our Chardonnay grapes, we harvested some
vineyards slightly earlier than usual, resulting in incredibly balanced wines.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD
TWO² winemakers acquire fruit from younger Napa Valley vineyards
that display a silky tannin profile and opulent texture which allow for early
accessibility. We have unearthed a range of privately-owned boutique vineyards,
hidden gems tucked in secret pockets of Napa Valley, that only Mother Nature
and our winemaking team are fortunate enough to touch.
