Description:
An intense wine of complex flavor, it is distinguished by the rich aromas of pineapple, banana, citrus fruits and apples which are confirmed in the round, balanced taste, both sensuous and
elegant.
An ideal accompaniment for dishes that are lightly seasoned: fish or shell fish in a cream sauce, such as lobster thermidor or salmon in a butter and dill 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.
