Vineyard
The Chardonnay vines for Paperwhite are planted on the Arroyo Seco alluvial fan, J. Lohr’s cool-climate home for more than fifty years. The soil here is underlain by riverstones deposited over thousands of years by the Arroyo Seco River. The unique combination of sandy loam soil and cobblestones keeps the vines’ green growth and fruit in balance. The winds and fog off nearby Monterey Bay extend the growing season - retaining Chardonnay’s natural grape acids and intense varietal character.
Vintage
This second vintage of our J. Lohr Estates Paperwhite Unoaked Chardonnay continues to spotlight a lighter, more fruit-forward style of Chardonnay - in contrast to our more traditional barrel-fermented and aged Riverstone, Arroyo Vista, and October Night releases. Paperwhite’s attractive floral and apple/pear aromas and flavors are a result of purposely forgoing secondary malolactic conversion and oak contact. Fermented and lightly aged in stainless steel, Paperwhite displays ripe, focused Chardonnay fruit character that is perfect for sipping solo or pairing to a wide range of lighter fare.
