About The Fields
Utilizing the fine heritage Chardonnay grapes of the Sonoma Coast, The Fields is an effort to make great wine from these grapes accessible. Cooled by maritime breezes that provide the perfect conditions for a balanced, structured Chardonnay, the resulting wines are simple, elegant, and delicious.

Out in The Fields

TASTING NOTES:
“A crisp, lively, mineral-driven Chardonnay from a meticulously farmed vineyard near Occidental (which, btw, produces Chardonnays that go for way more). Partial stainless steel fermentation, with the rest in neutral oak (providing mouth feel without oak flavor) and just the teensiest bit of new oak (5%) to round it out. Partial malolactic fermentation keeps it crisp and fresh. We took a natural approach to this wine (as we always do) and let the fruit and the farming tell the story.“ (AbV 13.8%)

BARRELS:
Fermented in 50% stainless steel, 45% neutral French oak, and 5% new French oak. Aged in neutral French oak.
