This 2022 harvest beer was made through a native fermentation of Chardonnay grapes from French Creek Vineyard on the slopes of the Yakima River. The whole cluster grapes were crushed by foot and kept in contact with the skins for some time before being pressed and then blended with aged wheat saison, spelt saison, and saison brewed with wheat and oats. The beer fermented and aged in puncheon over vintage.
This beer was refermented to condition in the bottle.

Pale and hazy, with no head. Somewhat dullish. The aroma has a lot of chardonnay, light brett. On the palate, fresh saison base, lots of brett, big chardonnay, and that juiciness comes through in the finish. Excellent.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy bright golden with a small white head. Aroma has a nice bugginess to it, plenty of white wine chardonnay, and oaky tannins. Flavour has tons of white wine, almost with a bit of white grape juice, gentle tannins, and oak. Finishes somewhat tannic, with more residual sweetness than I recall from the previous Chardonnay releases. Excellent as usual.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Hazy yellow gold with small white head. Chardonnay must, spelty saison, on par with the Chardonnay MMXX. Decent. Not a big Chardonnay grape fan, full disclosure.

750ml (thx, Josh!) @ Sales Force. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: very nice grape character accompanied with funk and rustic notes. A bit farty. Taste: along the same lines, lots of grapes, some tannins, oak. Bold. Overall: nice one.
