History
Years ago, when I was just starting out as a winemaker, it was almost unheard of to get French oak wine barrels and American oak barrels, were for whisky, not wine. But we still needed barrels to age our wine, so we purchased new and used Bourbon barrels. Today American and French oak wine barrels are commonplace, so the inspiration for 1000 Stories is a nod to the way things were
Regional Information
Our inaugural Chardonnay melds the rich character of 1000 Stories' Bourbon barrel-aged wines with California's most celebrated white grape variety. This vintage hails from coveted regions throughout the state, including the cool-climate vines of Monterey County
Current Vintage
2021
Vinification Details
A portion of the wine was fermented in oak barrels, lending a creamy texture to the wine. Quintessential Chardonnay notes of pear and baked apple are layered over a thread of tropical fruit, courtesy of a touch of Viognier in the blend. In signature 1000 Stories fashion, this Chardonnay was aged in traditional French and American oak, with a portion finished in seasoned Bourbon barrels before the final was assembled

My new favourite Chardonnay!
Regularly buy the 1000 Stories Zinfandel, so intrigued to try this. Delicious Chardonnay- like biting into a crisp apple!
