Wine Details
Price:
$16.00 per bottle
Description:
Our Chardonnay comes from the Indian Rock Vineyards in Calaveras County where they are well know for the production of this grape. The vines are 20 years old and produce a slightly spicy and flavorful wine. It has lively, tangy acidity with flavors of apple and a touch of melon. The roundness of the Chardonnay comes from 5 months of aging in French oak. It is a dry, well-balanced wine that should be served slightly chilled. This wine pairs well with most fish dishes, salads and chicken.

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.
