Cuvee Chardonnay

Select Cuvee Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $35.00 per bottle

Description: Our Select Cuvee Chardonnay is made especially our Flora Springs Club members. Our winemaking team painstakingly tastes through each barrel of Chardonnay to select only the finest few for this cuvee. These barrels are then isolated and retasted several more times before the final, and very limited, selection is made.

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.
