Our style of Chardonnay is clean and sophisticated showing beautiful scents of ripe stone fruits, pear, pineapple and Granny Smith apples with a touch of baking spice. Delicious vibrant fruit flavors meld perfectly with the rich mouth feel and a long refreshing finish. A nice wine to enjoy with crab cakes, scallops, pork roasted with apples or mushrooms sautéed in butter.
