Beautiful pale yellow color with citrus rind aromas. Lemon sorbet flavors & a crisp steely finish. A refreshing summer sipper. | 13.4% alcohol | 100% Chardonnay | 1,100 cases produced | sample

Unoaked, but still a bit of vanilla and spice. Not finding the acid I expected with non-malo/no oak. Warmed spiced Bosc pear, a bit round,

An homage to Chablis, great style and panache The fruit to acid balance is spot on, and again in my opinion this is how you do it! A small boutique winery within a winery, Sadly, this wine is not in distribution. #chardonnayday fave!
