Description:
Made in the old classical tradition, 30% of this wine was aged in French oak barrels for one year and blended with the same Chardonnel batch that had rested in a stainless steel tank and then aged in the bottle for a year. Enjoy this wine made by the skilled hands of our wine master, Leonard R. Olson, with shell fish, pasta and intimate conversations.

Varietal Definition
Chardonel:
Chardonel was developed in New York State, to be a late-ripening, highly-productive, cold-climate varietal. A cross of Chardonnay and Seyval Blanc, Chardonel is proving its value in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest states. Given much of the same treatment as Chardonnay, it adapts well to barrel fermention, and controlled lees contact. The result is often a full-bodied dry wine, high in alcohol and acidity, with a similar, if less pronounced character than Chardonnay.
