Estate Chardonnay

Estate Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $19.00 per bottle

Description: In 2003 the grapes of the two Chardonnay clones on Tenuta's property were separated and fermented apart from each other, to allow room to play and blend and so bring even more complexity. Wine was also allowed to undergo only 50% malo-lactic fermentation, which resulted in even more pronounced ripe, citrussy fruit. This is the first bottling - wine spent 10 months in oak (mostly new French, 20%, with about 10% American). A very yummy mouthfeel. Smooth, creamy, ripe citrus flavors.
