Tech Sheet

Wine Production

Grapes are lightly crushed, the must is moved to stainless steel tanks and then fermented at a controlled temperature.

Tasting Notes

The natural corpulence of  Chardonnay adds substance to the mid-palate while the overall profile of the wine remains cheerful and refreshing with clean aromas of green apple and citrus blossom.

Food Pairing

Fresh with well-balanced acidity, this wine pairs best with shellfish, salads, grilled vegetables, and fresh cheeses.
