Substantial butter. That MLF definitely did its job. Muted fruit: semi-cooked apples, vanilla, oak, viscous body.

A punchy citrus California Chard - subdued vanilla notes with a high citrus finish. Smooth and dominant, this one works well solo or with a cheese that can take a back seat. Advanced Chard lovers required!
