Tasting Notes
Crafted in a Burgundian method, this gold-hued, single vineyard Chardonnay exhibits a subtle creaminess matched with great acidity and structure. Our sixth vintage release of this style of Chardonnay results in an exciting fusion of baked apple, dried pineapple, quince, coconut with layered vanilla and hints of smoke and honey. Old-world touches of mineral, walnut, and bright acidity balance the richness. It matures well in the cellar!
Pairing Notes
Balanced and substantial, this Chardonnay has potential to stand up to anything which requires a white with some weight. Substantial fish, scallops, lobster, pork, veal, chicken, turkey, medium firm cheeses, grilled vegetables. A great wine for the fall/winter months.
Process
Stainless-steel fermented and stirred on its lees for six weeks in tank. Transferred to a combination of new and used French oak barrels for 6 months for malolactic fermentation and maturation, with 10% stainless-steel Chardonnay blended back in.
