Lapis Luna is a California wine brand founded in 1999 and owned by WarRoom Cellars since 2018. The wines are made by Nicole Walsh, a winemaker with over 23 vintages of experience, including nearly two decades at Bonny Doon Vineyard. The fruit comes mainly from Mendocino County.

The 2023 Chardonnay carries the California appellation; grapes were harvested at night between 9 September and 18 October 2023 across a long, cool growing season. After destemming, gentle pressing, and four days of cold settling, fermented in a combination of stainless steel and lightly toasted French oak, with partial spontaneous malolactic fermentation and six months of sur-lie ageing in French oak. 14.5% ABV, sealed with a screwcap.

Chardonnay 2023 | Lapis Luna

Lapis Luna, marca fundada en 1999 en California y propiedad de WarRoom Cellars desde 2018, presenta su Chardonnay de la añada 2023. La elaboración corre a cargo de Nicole Walsh, enóloga con más de 23 añadas de experiencia, incluyendo casi dos décadas en Bonny Doon Vineyard.

La uva proviene íntegramente de Pauli Ranch, en el condado de Mendocino, fruto de una colaboración con la familia Pauli. La cosecha se realizó en la zona de Mendocino (North Coast AVA), en noches frías entre el 9 de septiembre y el 18 de octubre, aprovechando una temporada de crecimiento larga y fresca. Tras el desgranado y un prensado suave, el mosto se decantó en frío durante cuatro días. La fermentación combinó acero inoxidable y roble francés ligeramente tostado, con una fermentación maloláctica parcial y espontánea. El vino pasó seis meses en crianza sobre lías en roble francés antes del embotellado, finalizando con un alcohol de 14,5% vol. y cierre de rosca.

Se trata de un blanco de California que prioriza la frescura de la uva y un proceso de elaboración cuidado con el roble, con un origen bien definido en Mendocino.

Learn more about Lapis Luna

It is worth saying up front: Lapis Luna is a brand, not an estate. It was created in 1999 and relaunched in 2018 by Andrew Nelson, with a supply agreement with the Paulis, a substantial grape-growing family in Mendocino County. The fruit comes from the North Coast and from Lodi, and the winemaking is led by Nicole Walsh.

The most recognisable thing about the house is on the label, and it is four hundred years old. The illustrations come from copperplate engravings of the early seventeenth century: in 1624 the poet Herman Hugo published Pia Desideria —"pious desires"— an emblem book whose images are the ones dressing the bottles today.
