Wine Details
Price:
$15.00 per bottle
Description:
Chardonel, a French Hybrid with fruit forward aroma and taste. It has multiple layers of citrus and stone fruit flavors. It has good acid balance (to the high end) that will last to the end of the taste. We elected to retain some residual sugar to give this wine an excellent overall balance. This wine has a body and flavor all wine drinkers can appreciate. Excellent alone or, paired with cheese, seafood, chicken, or pork. Best when served at slightly below room temperature (60), not too cold.

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.
