Wine Details
Price:
$10.00 per bottle
Description:
Pretty nectarine and green apple aromas and a hint of mineral compliment an intriguing floral character. The rich, almost oily mouth feel is filled with flavors of Granny Smith apple, restrained tropical fruit, and an elusive mineral quality characteristic of the white wines from this vineyard. The surprisingly long finish of apple, nectarines, and sweet oak is enhanced by the typical crisp acidity from the Badger Mountain Estate grapes.

Varietal Definition
Chardonnay:
Chardonnay is by far the most widely planted grape crop in California and dominates California’s cooler, coastal, quality wine regions. The natural varietal ‘taste and smell’ of Chardonnay is surprisingly unfamiliar to many wine drinkers, as its true character is often guised with dominating winemaking signatures. Chardonnay’s rather subdued primary fruit characteristics lean toward the crisp fruitiness of apples, pears and lemon, but the variety’s full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter and vanilla. Regardless of what is the appropriate style for Chardonnay, the varietal continues to dominate vineyard plantings in every corner of the world. Close attention to clonal selection has made this broad geographic and climactic range of Chardonnay viable in thoughtful viticultural hands.
