Septime is a new Sonoma Coast project from the Reeve winemaking team of Noah Dorrance and Katy Wilson. Sourcing from a variety of cool.climate, hillside sites, they have hand crafted wines that capture the spirit of this special coastal region. Aromatic, finely etched, savory, and with plenty of underlying acidity and minerality to carry the day. The grapes were hand sorted and then whole cluster pressed before settling in tank. The wines were barrel fermented and aged in mixture of new French oak barrels (33%), neutral barrels (33%) and stainless-steel drums (34%). The Septime Chardonnay was aged for 18 months with no less stirring and two very careful, oxygen-controlled rackings. The wine was transferred all to stainless steel for two months before bottling.
