Chardonnay

Reserve Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $13.99 per bottle

Description: Only the free run juice was utilized with fermentation and aging in French, Hungarian & American oak barrels (50% new, 50% one year old). Total time in oak was 10 months, during which time all barrels were stirred and topped off every two weeks. The blend was assembled, lightly fined and then bottled. This is truly a magnificent Chardonnay with aromas that follow through to the mouthfilling palate of fine, rich citrus and tropical fruits that are beautifully entwined with the quality oak. The lengthy finish is stunningly rich, with penetrating layers of grapefruit and soft spicy mineral tones. Gorgeous. This wine is ready for drinking now! Bronze Medal 2002 Arkansas State Fair.
