Sixto Uncovered Chardonnay 2017 750 ML

Frenchman Hills Vineyard (36%) Planted in 1998, Frenchman Hills is located just north of the Wahluke Slope. Sitting at 1650 feet elevation, it is a cooler site than the surrounding vineyards, yet does not easily frost. The ancient limestone and broken basalt soils are still intact, as the top of the vineyard was not impacted by the Missoula Flood nearly 12,000 years ago. The cooler aspect allows the grapes to have a long hang time without accumulating excess sugar and the resulting wines maintain beautiful acidity. Moxee Vineyard (33%) Planted in 1973, Moxee is located east of Yakima and north of Moxee. The south facing slope is approximately 1450 feet elevation. The soil is Moxee silt loam with broken limestone. Roza Hills Vineyard (31%) At an elevation of 1350 feet, Roza Hills Vineyard is located in a southern sloping bowl, on the south side of the Rattlesnake Hills. Planted in 1977, the majority of the vines are located in soils of loamy silt and chalk, with broken basalt chunks interspersed.
