The separate cuvées are matured in one-third new oak barrels for 12 months before being assembled and returned to cask for another 6 months prior to being bottled.

MATTHIASSON Linda Vista Chardonnay, Napa Valley Made from certified organic vines that grow on the Mathiasson estate in Napa, this wine pairs beautifully with lighter summer fare. Medium acidity is balanced by pleasant fleshiness, finishing very clean with a hint of minerality. A diversity of ripeness is created by using the traditional method of harvesting the fruit a number of different times during the ripening period, achieving complexity, completeness, and balance. The earlier harvests contribute acidity and minerality, and the later harvests contribute flesh and richness..
