A lifting acidity imparts structure and a lasting finish. Extended bottle aging over the next three to five years will develop some of the wine’s more savory characteristics. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eNotes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e Barrel fermented and then aged for nine months in French oak with weekly batonnage to increase influence of lees contact.

A nursery in California had a few extra vines, so six months of hard work later, their first, eight acres of vines had been planted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003eInitially, the plan was to simply sell the fruit, but in the interest of learning as much as possible, they decided to make wine with a portion of the harvest and sell the rest.  480 cases in 2000 became 1,050 cases by 2001, and it all sold! After a quick visit to California for ideas, they designed their winery on the back of a napkin and by October 1, 2002, opened their real, honest-to-goodness winery.  Since then both the vineyard and the business have grown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43466715103489,"sku":"854349000050","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/king-chard.png?v=1765715503","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/king-family-vineyards-chardonnay-2021","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
