"Albas 93-acre estate is nestled in the rolling hills of Warren County, specifically on the north side of the Musconetcong river valley, a tributary of the Delaware river. We are a part of the Warren Hills AVA where our vineyard rests between the elevations of 250 and 650 above sea level providing the farm with ample drainage of cold air; which helps to mitigate spring frosts and prolong our growing season. . "Hand harvested at optimal ripeness at the beginning of September. Whole cluster pressed, fermented and aged sur lies in 100% Francois Freres, 40% new, 60% one year used French oak barrels. In late autumn, the wine completed malolactic fermentation to help soften the finish and broaden the palate with additional layers of complexities. . "Our 2018 Estate Chardonnay is truly a vineyard driven wine. Beautifully crafted with Burgundian techniques rendering a creamy, multifaceted wine with layers of fig, pear, and melon ~ supported by ample acidity. Pure and minerality mid-pallet with a powerful finish that offers a finely textured toasty oak and silkiness.".
