Southern Magnolia

Southern Magnolia Wine Details
Price:

Description: The luscious scent of ripe peaches explodes from this exceptionally crisp, flavorful wine. It blends the varietals notes of Chardonnay with the natural sweetness of juicy peaches. Pale straw in color, this wine is a natural addition to a lazy afternoon by the lake, or an evening barbecue.

Varietal Definition
Magnolia:
Muscadine grape derivative with floral flavors used mainly to make sweet white wines in the South-East and Gulf states of the U.S..
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.
