Winemaker Notes
The 2017 Smoking Loon “Steelbird” Chardonnay represents the true characteristics of Chardonnay, free from the influence of oak aging. 100% stainless steel aging allows vibrant aromas and flavors of pineapple, green apple and lemon rind to shine through. Refreshing yet rich flavors are rounded out by a pleasant citrus acidity. With a creamy, silky mouthfeel—obtained by re-suspending the lees during tank aging—and persistent
finish, our unoaked Chardonnay is in a league of its own. A bright medium length finish make this a versatile food-pairing wine.
Serve “Steelbird” Chardonnay with light appetizers, seafood, grilled vegetables and spicy Mexican or Indian dishes.
