Midnight Ember

Midnight Ember Wine Details
Price: $12.00 per bottle

Description: This Chardonel varietal is our bold, full-bodied, dry white wine with well-balanced acidity. Four months of aging and fermentation with French oak has helped nurture the smooth, buttery feel and taste for which Midnight Ember is known. This wine is best served with chicken or seafood with heavy cream sauces

Varietal Definition
Chardonel:
Chardonel was developed in New York State, to be a late-ripening, highly-productive, cold-climate varietal. A cross of Chardonnay and Seyval Blanc, Chardonel is proving its value in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest states. Given much of the same treatment as Chardonnay, it adapts well to barrel fermention, and controlled lees contact. The result is often a full-bodied dry wine, high in alcohol and acidity, with a similar, if less pronounced character than Chardonnay.
