Chardonnay 2008 - Grand Valley AVA - SOLD OUT!

Our 2010 Chardonnay is due out in Summer 2011. There is no 2009 vintage.

Released May 2009

Description: This wine expresses characteristics of a much more mature vintage. This was accomplished by fermenting in the barrel and allowing sufficient head space for the development of complex caramel and butterscotch tones. The aroma is more reminiscent of a whiskey than an ordinary Chardonnay, with elements of pear and apricot on the nose. Flavors of vanilla, caramel, and apples dominate the palate. Truly a unique wine and not to be missed!

Notes: This Chardonnay was barrel fermented in re-cooped French oak, then spent a few months sur-lie which adds to the creamy flavor. It has also undergone a malolactic fermentation to increase mouthfeel and richness in the wine.
