CREAMERY CHARDONNAY

We don’t really make our chardonnay in a creamery, but it is plenty creamy, and toasty, too! Not to mention rich, lush and delicious. Fermented entirely in barrel, Creamery Chardonnay boasts seductive aromas of buttery, ripe golden fruit and full-bodied, lush flavors that glide across the palate into a long, smooth finish. Enjoy the cream of the crop!

TASTING NOTES

This Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented to create a rich wine exhibiting a classic profile of tropical fruit and Bosc pear alongside warm oak aromatics. The luscious palate suggests crème brulée and buttered toast, and finishes with fresh acidity.
