Bedell is a certified sustainable vineyard and winery using only their own hand-picked estate grapes for all their wines. Chardonnay is the most planted white grape here on the North Fork, where it has a different expression than it does in either France or California; more open and easy-going than French, and far less rich and oaky than California. This Chardonnay sees no oak whatsoever, but the warm 2022 summer coaxed plenty of full flavor out of the grapes. Bedell's winemaking team of Marin Brennan and LI wine veteran Rich Olsen-Harbich expertly craft a rich yet elegant Chardonnay in a distinctly North Fork style. It really is a stunner as far as stainless steel Chardonnay goes!
