Hartford Court Russian River Chardonnay 2021
The Wine
"The 2021 Hartford Court Russian River Valley Chardonnay offers subtle aromas of jasmine flower, citrus oil, green apple, and pear. The elegant aromatics are complemented by fresh kiwi, lemon drop, and green apple flavors. The fruit-focused mid-palate is followed by subtle mineral notes and a hint of crystallized ginger in the finish.
Sourced from several vineyards within the Russian River Valley AVA (Laguna Ridge, Green Valley and Russian River itself) this Chardonnay is an excellent example of the regions style. After sorting by hand, the grapes are whole bunch pressed in French oak and stainless steel (10%). After a spontaneous, wild yeast fermentation the wine matured for 10 months in 26% new French oak barrels. Bottled without filtering or fining." - Hartford Court

About the Wine Maker 
Established in 1994, Hartford Family Winery was born from Don and Jennifer Hartford's passion for fine wines, the community, and the distinctive vineyards surrounding their home in the Russian River Valley. Situated in Forestville, a town within Sonoma County, the winery stands approximately 15 miles from the brisk Pacific Coast.
Hartford Family Winery is dedicated to producing wines from individual vineyard sites. In recent years, they have crafted around 25 unique single vineyard bottlings. The small, low-yielding vineyards yield wines with distinct character and rich personality. Their Hartford Court Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays range from as little as 93 cases to around 800 cases. Similarly, the Hartford Old Vine Zinfandels are available in limited quantities.
