Upon arriving at the winery, the grapes were whole-cluster pressed. After pressing, the juice was cold tank fermented, retaining the essential bright fruit and mineral characters. The wine was not allowed to go through a secondary malo-lactic fermentation.Metallico’s aromatics are intense with white peach, lemon balm, and jasmine. The palate has ripe fruit flavors of citrus and stone fruits. Crisp, food-friendly acidity keeps this wine refreshing and bright. It’s a perfect accompaniment to shellfish and lighter summertime fare. - Winemaker Notes

"COMMENTARY: Over the last decade, wineries have rushed fruit-forward, no-oak Chardonnays, and many of those wines have not hit the mark. Morgan Winery is one of the exceptions and has produced some of the best wines in this genre. The 2018 Metallico Un-oaked Chardonnay is a shining star. TASTING NOTES: This wine is brimming with mineral, tart apple, and excellent brightness. Pair it with a dozen freshly-shucked raw oysters. (Tasted: August 19, 2019, San Francisco, CA)"
