Wine Details
Price:
$9.99 per bottle
Description:
Made of 100% Chardonnay grapes. We no longer age this wine in American Oak. We used to, but we like the clean, fresh taste we're getting now better. Why not try some and see if you don't agree. A soft, bright golden color, with slight light-greenish hues. An intense aroma which echoes fresh fruits such as peach and banana. Honey, dry fruits, butter and vanilla flavors are also present in this wine. Kind and lingering flavor, balanced and harmonic. A young Chardonnay, flavored of fresh-cut fruits and roasted hazelnuts. Time well spent in oak barrels gives this wine a greater structure, making it full-bodied, and thus more appropriate with richer foods.

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.
