$17.99 per bottle
Description:
Chardonnay is rather fragrant and displays zesty lemon peel with light burnt toast, hints of straw, hay and beautiful citrus. The firm bright acidity on first sip continues with a mid palate finish of creamy vanilla, buttermilk and honeysuckle. We hand picked the grapes in October from Steve Mudd’s home farm in Southold. The fermentation was kept cool at 58 to 64 degrees to hold in the bright aromatic aromas.

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.
