Winery Review: Pear and applesauce aromas float from this opulent wine. Tasting reveals refreshing citrus fruit, augmented by rich naunces of toffee, fig and vanilla. Smooth and creamy in texture, this wine features a lengthy finish infused with traces of melon and pineapple. Slow barrel fermentation and subsequent aging sur lies (on the yeast) for 8 months resulting in a well-balanced and complex wine. Our Chardonnay pairs well with crab, lobster, and other rich seafood, especially with cream sauces; roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, and sharp cheese.
My Review: I can smell the fruit in this wine, very light smell. I can taste hints of pineapple and pears in the wine, as well as the oak from being aged. It is very smooth and has a clean finish. I do agree with the list of dishes that this Chardonnay would pair well with. This is a wine that I would buy just to try it with a food dish.
