Chardonnay

Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $9.00 per bottle

Description: Many people associate chardonnays exclusively with the big, oaky, buttery California style. Not here in Oregon. In the Willamette Valley, due to the cooler weather and ‘abundant water’ the Chardonnays are lighter, grassier and have a nice acid balance. The fruit aromas tend to be lighter and towards grapefruit & honey texture. This makes them an excellent accompiant to foods, particularly fish and fowl. Fermented & aged in steel to maintain the fresh flavors of the grape, not the wood barrels.
