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.

Very easy to drink, smooth, slightly buttery, very little acid. The wine is slightly sweet and fruity. Goes down so easy, you can drink the whole bottle without having that heavy, syrupy, lingering aftertaste you might get with some chardonnays.

Blend: 97% Chardonnay, 3% Gewurztraminer This Chardonnay has a rich, golden color and aromas of ripe apple,vanilla, butter, and pear. It has a luscious mouthfeel with flavors of vanilla, guava,and butterscotch and a long, smooth finish.

Very oaky, buttery nose. Even though there's only 3% gewurtz it really shines through and adds complexity to the chardonnay. Its a very oaky wine, with a long spicy finish on the oak. Soft soft floral notes and fragrant aromas from the gewurz - recommended for something different.
