Wine Details
Price:
$9.00 per bottle
Description:
Why Naked? Entirely fermented in stainless steel instead of oak; thus, the flavors are purely chardonnay fruit without any wood influence. Typically chardonnay is aged in oak - hence ''cloaked' in oak. We choose to 'un-cloak' the chardonnay fruit so it is a tho' you are eating chardonnay grapes right off the vine. A light wine perfect with chicken or seafood. Great for a hot & humid day!

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.
