Vineyard Notes


Keenan's 2022 Chardonnay was hand harvested, de-stemmed, then gently pressed. The juice was fermented and aged in French and American oak barrels. The wine was left on the lees and the barrels were stirred weekly. No secondary, or malolactic fermentation was carried out, leading to the crisp, citrus character of this wine. The wine was bottled after approximately seven months of aging in the cellar.

The finished wine shows citrus, ripe pear and green apple in the nose. Hints of lush white peach are noticed as the wine opens up. The sur-lie aging has added richness and complexity, and a touch of toasty oak returns on the finish. Like all of Keenan’s wines, this Chardonnay is a food worthy wine whose crisp acidity and medium body will accompany a wide variety of cuisine.

James Suckling Wine Ratings

March 2024
93 Points

"Sliced pears, candied lemons, dried herbs, spices and crushed stone with some pastry crust undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, focused and fresh on the palate with a silky texture and layered fruit character. Balanced and textural with a delicate finish. Drink or hold." –James Suckling
