Wine Details
Price:
$32.00 per bottle
Description:
Take a big bite out of this Chardonnay we hand-crafted in steel barrels to punch up the taste as if you are chomping into a crisp, green apple. Tres frais means “very fresh” and with citrus zest and the personality behind the lingering apple dancing on your tongue even after your glass is empty; I say this wine is very fresh indeed. Reminiscent of green apple Jolly Rancher candies, this light wine delivers a playful tang that can slip you back into a childlike state of mind…hopscotch anyone?

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.
