Cypress Chardonnay

Cypress Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $10.00 per bottle

Description: Cypress Chardonnay is a bright and youthful pale yellow in color with fruit forward aromas of pear, nectarine and pineapple with tangerine citrus notes. It has lively fruit flavors of pear, nectarine and citrus with refreshing acidity and solid palate intensity. Its bright fruit aromas and flavors make it an ideal accompaniment to grilled/sautéed seafood and chicken.

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.
