Wine Details
Price:
$12.00 per bottle
Description:
Medal Winner at the 2007 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition! This
dry white wine took a brief sojourn in 100% French Oak yielding a soft, elegant wine
gracefully kissed by the barrel. Apple fruit is the dominating character of this lilting
wine. Terrific along or with any meal; particularly dramatic with creamy or poultry fare.

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.
