Chardonnay

Chardonnay Wine Details
Price:

Description: "Our 2000 Chardonnay is a rich, full-bodied dry wine made from premium Chardonnay grapes. It has a pleasing aroma of apples, lemons, vanilla, and oak and a supple finish balanced by a crisp acidity. We picked the grapes for this 2000 vintage starting in late September. After crushing and pressing the grapes, we barrel fermented and aged 50% of the wine in small oak barrels. The remainder was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain its fresh fruit character. Three percent of the blend went through malolactic fermentation to increase the richness and body. Serve this 2000 Chardonnay slightly chilled with meals that call for a dry, full-flavored white wine." Chuck Devlin, winemaker
