winemaker's notes:

Very refreshing with pleasant aromas of pears and melon. On the palate, expect stone and mineral flavors followed by a full-bodied, fruity finish. 100% Chardonnay. The wine is produced with absolutely no oak. A perfect complement to lemon chicken, Asian dishes or lighter pasta and seafood entrees.

Tortoise Creek is a range of varietal wines from the Languedoc district of the South of France. The Languedoc region is a land of diversity, reflected in the countless subtleties of its many wines. The remarkable weather conditions and vast array of quality growing areas give each wine a uniqueness found only to the Languedoc. Winemakers Mel and Janie Master understood the potential of the Languedoc, and with their passion for good wine and good food, embarked on a commitment to produce quality wines at value driven prices.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
