Wine Details
Price:
$8.99 per bottle
Description:
This wine has its faithful followers. There's a sparkle to the latest bottling of this off-dry Vidal/Chardonnay blend that has been quite well received in the tasting room. But that's not all that is new with this wine... The label now features a photograph of Ledge Light off New London by Michael Melford. A great wine with scallops.

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.
