Nuthouse Chardonnay

Nuthouse Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: This is a very ‘big’ styled Nuthouse Chardonnay. The wine is the result of what happens when both Mother Nature and winemaker decide to go all out for flavor and impression. The aroma is toasted oak and hazelnut with tropical, melon fruit richness. The flavor is big and rich, with melon, pear, white peach, and guava fruit laced with toasted oak and clove spice. The finish is long with peach and pear fruit.

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.
