2013 Castello di Amorosa Chardonnay: Pale golden yellow color with pear, apple, and butterscotch aromas. On the palate it's lush and with a supple texture and good acidity with apple, peach, honey, lemon meringue, vanilla and bit of very pleasing brown spice and minerality. Long finish. 100 % Barrel fermentation, 50% new French oak barrels, 50 % second use, all aged “sur lie” (on the yeast) for 10 months and stirred to re-suspend the yeast, enhancing aromas and adding texture and volume to the mouth. alcohol; SRP - $29. 827.5 cases produced. Pair with Alaskan King Crab Legs and drawn butter
