Description:
This wine was made from 100% Chardonel grapes which were grown by Jack and Joal Russell of St. Gen. County Missouri. Tantalizingly sweet with a sturdy, acidic backbone.
Predominent notes of pear and apple with a hint of pineapple to round out a full spectrum of flavors and aromas.

Varietal Definition
Chardonel:
Chardonel was developed in New York State, to be a late-ripening, highly-productive, cold-climate varietal. A cross of Chardonnay and Seyval Blanc, Chardonel is proving its value in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest states. Given much of the same treatment as Chardonnay, it adapts well to barrel fermention, and controlled lees contact. The result is often a full-bodied dry wine, high in alcohol and acidity, with a similar, if less pronounced character than Chardonnay.
