Freddy R. Troya

A small lot produced Chardonnay from Central Coast California, where alluvial, Loam and clay soils and cool clime is the main characteristics to produced a very crispy Chard. 100% steely, clean, sharp, citrus zest, and apricot notes and same flavor collide in the back-end of the palate. Under ripen pineapple and yellow apple keeps lingering after 5 seconds. Very mild Malolactic Fermentation (feels fruity and alive). Liked the zero oaky aspect of it. A perfect supper without any food.
