Description:
This single-vineyard Chardonnay is the first wine released by Tidal that contains 100% Oklahoma fruit. It was harvested August 2003 from the Tom & Jerry's Vineyard in central Lincoln County, a part of the Lincoln and Creek County region where Oklahoma's best wine grapes are grown. Our winemaker has created a rich buttery delight with clear tones of oak and fruit. Chardonnay enthusiasts will approve!

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.
