Price:
$32.00 per bottle
Description:
'Très Frais' means "very fresh" in French and nothing else could be a better match for this refreshing gem. The climate of Carneros, an exceptional growing region for our Chardonnay, keeps the acidity in the grapes alive, producing luscious exotic fruit with a long complex mouth-feel resulting in a well-balanced wine. Crisp flavors of pineapple, subtle lemon, and delicate grapefruit dance on your palate and leave your mouth-feeling refreshed and ready for another mouthwatering sip. Try this wine with grilled halibut and a squeeze of lemon, delicious!

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.

White Zinfandel:
White Zinfandel is an off-dry to sweet, pink-colored Rosé wine. White Zinfandel is made from the Zinfandel wine grape, which would otherwise produce a bold and spicy red wine. As such, it is not a grape variety, but a method of processing Zinfandel grapes. It has gained immensely in popularity since the 1980s. White Zinfandel is light and sweet. It is the perfect wine in some situations - say a hot summer day with a crisp fruit salad. It's also a great way for non-wine-drinkers to get used to the flavors in wine, without being put off by a heavily tannic monster wine.
