Chardonnay - Santa Barbara County,

Chardonnay - Santa Barbara County, Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: In this unusually warm year the vintage began at least three weeks earlier than normal for Chardonnay. Early spring weather was cold, retarding the vines early growth and ultimately limiting crop size. The grapes were hand harvested and delivered to the winery in small bins where they were gently pressed and cold fermented. After a long fermentation the new wine was racked to French oak barrels and patiently aged for seven months. This is a luscious, well balanced Santa Barbara Chardonnay with fresh, vibrant pineapple and tropical fruit aromas and flavors.
