This unique combination of soil and climate produces relatively small berries with intense, concentrated
Tasting notes: Vibrant aromas of stone-fruit, green apple, and slight sweet oak. This Chardonnay features a creamy mid-palate with a soft finish, bright acidity to compliment citrus and mineral flavors.
Pairing: Chilled corn & pistachio soup and your favorite crab cakes. Also delicious with soft cheeses such as a triple-crème served with apples.
