A very appealing fruit forward Chardonnay which has aromas of citrus blossom, jasmine and cream. The palate is delicious with ripe golden peach, pink grapefruit and a hint of creaminess which lengthens and adds texture. A lighter style Chardonnay that can be enjoyed with or without food, with your favorite people and food.
Winemaker: Anita Ewart-Croy
Harvested in the cool of the morning at optimum ripeness, this Chardonnay is processed quickly to ensure maximum expression of fresh fruit flavor and aroma without the influence of skin tannin. Fermented in stainless using cool temperature control and aromatic enhancing yeast, this Chardonnay is a true expression of the fruit. There has been no oak used in creating this wine; half has been put through malolactic fermentation to add creaminess and richness. Perfectly balanced acidity gives length and freshness. This wine was fined with fresh skim milk prior to stabilization, filtration, and bottling.
