Product Description
Crisp Gala apple, Bartlett pear and hints of pineapple are layered by lovely pie spices and toasty vanilla notes. The palate is long and round with rich viscosity that comes from partial malolactic fermentation and barrel aging. Clean, ripe citrus flavors extend the finish and add a refreshing lift to the rich fruit. A go-to Chardonnay, this wine has the perfect poise for any occasion. Pair it with grilled chicken, seafood or light pastas.

Product details
WINEMAKING
The grapes for our Chardonnay were harvested in the cool morning hours. To preserve the fruit character, we maintained these low temperatures for a majority of the fruit through fermentation. We placed 75 percent of the grapes in stainlesssteel tanks with premium yeasts at temperatures around 58º Fahrenheit. The remaining 25 percent was fermented in barrel to give richness, depth and balance. Additional weightiness was achieved with malolactic fermentation and regular lees stirring. We added subtle accents of baking spice with seven months oak aging.
