Wine Details
Price:
$18.00 per bottle
Description:
ank fermented and finished in French oak for 6 months, this Chardonnay opens with subtle aromas of pear and baked apple that quickly develop into lush nutty lees characters. The palate is rich and creamy with mouth filling butterscotch and almond notes. Undertones of caramel and coconut linger creating a velvety impression with a long, round finish. A great wine for autumn as an ideal compliment to your Thanksgiving table. Also pair with poultry, corn on the cob, lobster, or dishes featuring heavy cream sauces.

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.
