tasting notes

Amazingly light and fruity, this Chardonnay was so much more crisp and flavorful than I typically associate with a Chardonnay. But I guess I am not used to drinking so called “naked” Chardonnays. It had such a deliciously crisp granny smith apple aroma, yet the flavor was more of a subtle pear, even honeydew melon perhaps. There was a slight citrus lemon bite, with a long buttery finish. I would even go so far as to say that the finish was slightly sweet, like a buttery caramel apple. The wine is extremely food friendly, and well worth the cost.

suggested pairings

  • Herbed pork stuffed with gruyere
  • Chicken with creamy mustard sauce
  • Buttery beets and other root vegetables
