Price:
$14.00 per bottle
Description:
An “atypical Chardonnay” as it is refreshing and light letting the fruit quality and elegant acidity shine through. Subtle and elegant aromas of tropical fruits of mango and papaya and floral tones of lavender and lilac fill the glass and continue to evolve as the wine opens up. Silky smooth texture with the tinniest effervescence gives the palate life mirroring the fresh style in which it was crafted. Elevated notes of lime, white peach, mango accompanied by subtle mineral and floral tones gives the wine depth, weight and complexity. A lovely soft Chardonnay with refreshing integrated acidity and a lovely finish. Enjoy with all meals due to its versatility. Especially lovely with poultry, soft young to medium cheese, light cream sauces, pasta, pork, and on its own.

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.
