About This Wine:
Color: brilliant appearance with a deep color of yellow gold
On the nose: pineapple, melon, pear and ripe yellow cherry framed by vanilla bean, green apple and rhubarb lingering on floral touches of white rose and tulip with a hint of cedar wood and toasty oak
On the palate: full-bodied and textured supported by bright acidity which brings elegance and balance with notes of dried flowers, lavender, honeysuckle and pork-roast lingering on hints of vanilla, apricot, marzipan, white chocolate and fresh citrus fruits
Wine Profile:
BLEND 100% Chardonnay
Winemaker Notes:
2009 was a very mild growing season with minimal fluctuation in temperature with early ripening varietals such as Chardonnay. Due to these so-called perfect growing conditions, the grapes ripened evenly. With the Chardonnay we were able to bring in grapes with high sugars while still maintaining acidity. This brought a lot of finesse, elegance and minerality to this Chardonnay.
