Wine Details
Price:
$19.95 per bottle
Description:
An amazingly concentrated deep golden colour is complimented by a brilliant clear hue. Aromas of golden delicious apple, white peach and candied orange pour forth from the bottle the moment you remove the cork! This wine is seamless in the mouth. Well-defined fruit flavours, including apple, peach and quince, coat your mouth. The vibrant acidity channels these flavours into a sublime everlasting finish. A stunningly rich mouthfeel results from extended aging in top-quality French Oak Barrels. Try Triomphe Chardonnay with lobster (and as much melted butter as you can find…) or with spicy Asian dishes. Drink up to eleven years after vintage date.

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.
