Wine Details
Price:
$14.00 per bottle
Description:
Chardonnay is a classic white wine grape grown all around the world but originally made famous in the Burgundy and Champagne regions of France. Chardonnay takes oak well, and some of our Chardonnay is fermented and aged in oak. The oak treatment helps express the vanilla overtones in its aromas and flavor. Chardonnay also ages well in the bottle, though it will not age as long as reds.
Our Chardonnay has a full-bodied, rich and creamy taste with a finish that is long on the palate. Enjoy by itself or to accompany a special meal. Perfect for seafood, poultry or pork and sauces that are light or creamy.

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.
