Description:
Our 2005 Chardonnay has lovely bright colors with aromas of pineapple, pears, and vanilla. Well balanced, it has a rich, full mouthfeel with flavors of pear, apple and citrus, leading into a long finish of toasted almond and ginger flavors. This wine is perfect as a cocktail by itself, or as a complement to chicken, baked or poached fishes, grilled prawns, or pasta with a light cream sauce.

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.
