2023 iruai ‘Mineral Range’ Chardonnay

100% Chardonnay

Trinity Lakes AVA

12.5% ALC / 25 cases produced

Don't call this California Chardonnay 'Cougar Juice' ... unless of course you're refering to the ACTUAL COUGARS roaming the slopes of the Trinity Alps where these grapes were grown! A rare alpine expression of the variety in California, 'Mineral Range' Chardonnay channels the rocky acidity from the cool climate of the Shasta-Trinity wilderness. A savage Spring and Fall bookends a generous Summer, conjuring white flowers, ripe apples, and a round texture. Best chilled in a pile of snow!
