This Chardonnay has a pale straw color with slight green tinges at the edge of the glass. On the nose, this wine is clean and bright, with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and a hint of white flowers. There's a pleasant minerality that speaks to its mountain origin.The wine is crisp and lively on the palate, with a refreshing acidity that makes it a perfect match for light fare. Flavors of green apple and lemon carry through to the palate, with a touch of citrus pith adding depth. The finish is clean and refreshing. This Chardonnay is light-bodied, with a refreshing acidity that makes it perfect for sipping on its own or pairing with fresh seafood or salads. The lack of oak aging allows the fruit flavors to shine, while the use of stainless steel keeps the wine focused and linear.
