Wine Description
Wavelength hits with clarity first, like a clean chord that rings out and pulls you in. The nose leans cool and stony, with bright citrus and a green, herbal freshness that feels more like a walk through an herb garden than anything sweet or tropical.
On the palate, it starts with pure momentum: vivid acidity, clean lines, and a lively snap that keeps the wine upright. Then it opens, not wider, but deeper, as lees aging brings a richer texture and quiet breadth without ever turning heavy. Everything stays in tune through the finish, bright, grounded, and built to linger with precision

Naming Inspiration
All I Really Want by Alanis Morissette. Wavelength is named for the way this Chardonnay moves, bright and clear up front, then opening into texture and depth, with acidity and fruit rising and settling in balance. It is energy with intention, a wine that keeps its line and stays with you after the last note.
