Winemaking Notes: This wine is new but returns to a wine Scholium has not made since 2008. Previously, the wine has come exclusively from Lost Slough; this year, they revived the name for a very interesting wine devoted to displaying phenolic intensity, acidity, and minerality with a minimum of skin contact. The blend is a majority Chardonnay, all from Tenbrink. The rest is Verdelho, with a little Cinsault and Pinot Grigio. The wine was fermented in barrel, but aged only 5 months, with limited malolactic fermentation. The wine is recognizably Chardonnay with excellent acidity, a tannic grip, Lodi minerality and no butteriness.
