Perpetual Sound is reserve Chardonnay chosen for completeness, the lot that holds richness and tension at the same time. In 2021, we had the season to see it clearly: early heat, then a long dry finish that let Block 3 carry ripeness without losing line. We kept the foundational choices, whole cluster pressing, intentional oxygen post press, native fermentation, then let time stretch out further in a single 600L puncheon. That extra élevage does not make the wine louder; it makes it longer. Think baked apple and lemon curd, toasted hazelnut and brioche, finishing savory and mineral, like a note that hangs in the air after the music stops.

Naming Inspiration
Forgotten, Linkin Park. Named for the lyric “perpetual sound” and for a finish that refuses to fade.
