Evening Land Vineyards Seven Springs Summum Chardonnay

The volcanic eruptions that formed our appellation sent rivulets of lava down the hillsides, depositing rocks and boulders in narrow bands, leaving behind ideal soils for winegrowing. Evening Land is fortunate to have the remains of several lava flows throughout the vineyard, the most prominent of which spans just 14 vine rows, threading the spine at the center of Seven Springs. It is these select vines that give them Summum Chardonnay. The fruit from the Summum vine rows is fermented and raised in new Stockinger puncheons, finishing its elevage in tank before bottling.

  Brilliant straw-yellow. Fresh and energetic on the incisive nose, displaying fresh pear, nectarine and Meyer lemon scents accompanied by suave floral, saffron and chalky mineral flourishes. Silky and open-knit, offering densely packed yet shockingly lively citrus and orchard fruit, honeysuckle, oyster shell and saffron flavors that show superb tension and back-end lift. Finely delineated and lithe in character, finishing extremely long and seamless, with vibrant mineral cut and lingering floral and orchard fruit notes.
