Description:
This uniquely fresh and fruit-focused Chardonnay is made in the Italian style to exacting standards, yielding crisp fruit flavor with notes of orange blossoms and apricot. The wine is minimally manipulated to maintain all of the fruit flavor and a fresh crisp finish. Fermented in stainless steel with no secondary malolactic fermentation, the wine’s balance of acidity and body make it a perfect match with grilled salmon or 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.
