Wine Details
Price:
$28.00 per bottle
Description:
The 2003 Chardonnay Amourette is perfect for sipping on a warm summer afternoon. The aroma has tropical overtones of pears, quince, honeysuckle and guava. The initial crisp, zesty flavor is complemented by the subtle butterscotch finish.
More than just a “passing fancy” it is perfect with fish, crab or shrimp dishes and will enhance the flavors of white meats like chicken or pork but quite frankly, this wine
is worthy of simply enjoying all by itself.

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.
