Wine Details
Price:
$21.00 per bottle
Description:
This 100% Chardonnay, is a wine of softness and texture on the palate, which retains great complexity in the vibrant rich fruit. The wine shows masses of pineapple, peach, nectarine, gooseberry, kiwi and lime; the fruit tones are deftly balanced with smoky oak and creamy lees complexity. A rounded entry leads to an opulent, linear and elegant palate with great finesse.

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.
