{"product_id":"laureate-chardonnay-old-world-winery-natural-wine","title":"L'Aureate Chardonnay 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eL'Aureate is a skin-contact Chardonnay from Old World Winery's Nagomi Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, Sonoma County. The grapes are whole-cluster foot-stomped and allowed 48 hours of skin contact before spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is then aged in neutral oak barrels, remaining on the lees the entire time without racking, and bottled unfined and unfiltered with total sulfur below 30 ppm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Darek Trowbridge farms the Nagomi Vineyard regeneratively and dry-farms vines on silty loam soils similar in composition to the Goldridge soils found near Sebastopol. No temperature control, commercial yeasts, enzymes, or new oak are used at any point in the cellar. The result is a wine that reflects the vineyard and vintage without correction or manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, L'Aureate is bright and crisp with a textural grip from the skin contact, tropical fruit character, and a light savory, yeasty edge. It drinks closer to a structured white than a deeply tannic orange wine, making it approachable for those exploring skin-contact styles for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old World Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37753545490631,"sku":"OLDWAURE19C","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/old-world-winery-l_aureano-orange-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630819158","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/laureate-chardonnay-old-world-winery-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
