All of the Chardonnays are picked early for higher acid and lower alcohol for a refreshing acidity, defined mineral notes, and lingering finish. The Apollo Chardonnay is a blend consisting of half new Billon puncheon and half second-fill Damy Burgundy barrel. These barrels are chosen during a blind tasting for their signature "Apollo" nose and body. To strike a balance between old-world and new-world, it was aged on its lees for 18 months before bottling.
