winemaker's notes:

This wine exhibits classic varietal characteristics with aromas of ripe pineapple, fresh Gala apples, pear and candied lemon. The palate has a weight that belies its unoaked status with a rich entry of fresh citrus fruit that leads into secondary aromas of fig and mineral. Finishing clean and crisp with lingering acidity, the wine is fresh and vivacious, with a dense mid-palate. This vintage proves that with the right grapes and winemaking, Chardonnay does not need oak or malolactic fermentation to shine.

alcohol by volume: 13.5%

critical acclaim:

"The lime, kiwi, orange and lemon fruit flavors are so delicious, you won't miss the oak accents at all. Its bright, vital acidity makes it shine like polished silver. This is a very good food wine at a reasonable price.

We ordered a bottle of this wine to try and really enjoyed it. It is an unoaked Chardonnay, so it is light, refreshing and the natural fruit qualities of Chardonnay shine through. Lot's of pear and green apple balanced with good acidity. A good finish, but with a hint of bitterness which I believe will mellow out with a little time in the bottle. We purchased 6 more to cellar until next summer when it should be a perfect summer white. Great Value!
