Mudd Vineyard Cuvee Tropical Chardonnay

Mudd Vineyard Cuvee Tropical Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $17.00 per bottle

Description: An exotically furtied white wine crafted from a specially selected "Musque" clone of Chardonnay, this is a dry, medium-bodied, well-balanced and versatile white wine full of pineapple, white stone fruit and citrus flavors. This version is the most interesting to date with more depth and persistence in the finished wine created by fermenting one new French oak barrel filled with Musque Chardonnay on its own yeast. This was then blended back in with the stainless steel fermented lot and the wild yeast comprised 18% of the blend. Still a lighter style Chardonnay, this pairs perfectly with sushi, citrus-based dishes, Asian flavors and local shellfish. The finish is long with complex flavors and aromas. The grapes were hand-picked from the Mudd Vineyard, whole-cluster pressed very gently and bottled by gravity.
