2008 Unoaked Chardonnay

rose

Vintage Report

Cooler-than-usual spring weather delayed budburst but was followed by warm and dry flowering conditions, which led to exceptional fruit set in all varieties. Careful vineyard management with precision pruning and crop thinning yielded high quality grape clusters. Harvest began in mid-September and ended the second week of November. The young wines are showing promise with the whites displaying bright fruitiness and refreshing crispness and the reds showing excellent fruit structure and balanced tannins.

Tasting Notes

Our 2008 Unoaked Chardonnay is bright and refreshing. A lovely combination of citrus, pear and apple fruit with a touch of minerality creates a wonderfully balanced, dry crisp wine.

Food Pairing Notes

This Unoaked Chardonnay is delightfully refreshing and pairs particularly well with cream based dishes, fresh seafood, and summer salads.
