Tasting Notes

This vintage of Chardonnay is showing
beautiful color and aromas providing richness and finesse throughout the palate.Golden apple and Anjou pear flavors are balanced by citrus notes and a smooth, creamy nish. The wine would be a heavenly match with wild smoked salmon, roasted chicken or a four-cheese pizza.

Grapes for this wine were harvested during cooler night and morning hours to highlight the crisp, balanced fruit flavors in our wine. After crushing, the must was fermented for up to twelve days at cool temperatures, around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, in stainless steel tanks with
Burgundian yeasts. A portion of the blend went through malolactic fermentation, adding a silkiness and body to the wine. A splash of Muscat adds oral notes and richness to the blend.
