Chardonnay

Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $19.75 per bottle

Description: The 2005 vintage began with heavily moisturized soils as the result of an extremely wet winter. Early spring remained cool and wet, providing vines with all the water necessary to promote a strong, well developed canopy. July temperatures lingered in the mid 90’s, allowing healthy canopies to absorb the consistent heat and bring verasion quickly. Summer and fall were cooler than normal, allowing extended hang time for flavor development. Lower brix resulted in lower alcohols, better acidity and brighter fruit. Chardonnay was harvested in late September, 7 weeks later than normal.
