This bottle is a must for Chardonnay enthusiasts. We’ve found that contrary to the way many people approach aging white wines, Jespersen Ranch Chardonnays are absolutely stunning 5-7 years after they are bottled. And this wine is a fabulous example of that.

The 2018 Reserve Chardonnay represents a barrel selection of the best Chardonnay from the vintage at Jesperen Ranch. We whole-cluster-pressed the grapes and fermented the juice in French oak barrels. The wine went through 100% malolactic fermentation and aged on the lees, adding richness and balancing the vibrant acidity. The wine aged for a total of 15 months in 53% new French oak barrels. The wine has a gorgeous, plush mouthfeel with flavors of ripe pear and apple intertwined with lemon cake and fresh pineapple. This is an absolutely stunning vintage, and years of aging has softened the acidity creating a beautifully balanced Chardonnay.
