Tasting Notes
Medium bodied with crisp acidity. There is nice energy here with lemon rind, citrus, and yellow plum, along with subtle ginger and mint, followed by a chalky minerality that lingers in the finish.

GRAPE VARIETAL(S)
Chardonnay
100% Shar-do-NAY
Chardonnay may be the most versatile white wine grape, often seen as a blank canvas. It displays various flavors and aromas depending on where it is grown and more specifically, how it is made. It can range in Palate Character from Bright & Crisp to Rich & Full depending on the climate. It is also particularly malleable and highly affected by winemaking choices like as malolactic fermentation, lees stirring, barrel fermentation and ageing practices.
