The Diamond Collection brings together fruit from various Californian wine regions.
- Location / origin: California, on the West Coast of the United States.
- Climate: In the coastal regions, cool air from the Pacific Ocean flows into the valleys. This alternation of heat and cooling helps bring together ripe fruit and fresh acidity.
The winemaker uses both stainless steel and wood to combine the fruit with a creamy structure.
- Fermentation: A portion is fermented in stainless steel, where the fresh fruit character takes center stage.
- Wood aging: Parts of the wine are aged for seven months in French and American oak. This adds notes of vanilla, spices and toasted wood.
The broad flavor begins with a grape that can provide both freshness and richness.
- 100% Chardonnay – California: Forms the basis for the ripe fruit and full structure, with sufficient acidity to keep the creamy style lively.
