What to Expect

Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.

Winemakers Notes

Wine Characteristics

An elegantly structured wine with layers of fruit, mineral and oak, this wine will continue to gain in complexity for the next several years. Grapes are hand picked and whole bunch pressed to keep the integrity of the fruit and accentuate the terroir of Ingle Vineyard. Barrel fermented in 100% new oak barrels (1/2 Hungarian, 1/2 Russian) and aged for 10 months “sur lie”. After fermentation ceases the barrels are stirred (battonage) twice a week until the new year, then twice a month until summer, and in the end once a month in order to improve mid-palate structure. read more...The final blend is 70% barrel fermented and 30% stainless steel. All of this attention to detail is reflected in this extraordinary wine. Rated 88 points by the Beverage Testing Institute.

Food Pairings

Pairs well with poultry and roasted white meats but still retains enough citrus and acidity to go well with most delicate fish dishes. Try this wine with Thomas’s Chinese Aunt’s Corn Cream Soup or Duxelles Stuffed Mushroom Caps
