Chardonnay

Tasting notes:
This vineyard makes for a slightly leaner and more elegant style of chardonnay with melon, citrus, pear and light butter notes on the nose. Again on the palate, citrus, melon and pear are predominate with a light, buttery appeal, excellent balance and a lengthy finish. This wine will pair extremely well with fish and shellfish in lighter sauces and fantastic with stronger, more “outgoing” cheese courses.
