Description
"It is nicely fruited and fragrant on the nose showing pineapple, mango, vanilla, and hazelnut aromas, followed by a succulent palate that is silky and creamy. The wine offers supple texture and appealing fruit intensity, leading to a lingering smooth finish. At its best: now to 2019." Wine Orbit.
HandCraft Chardonnay opens with aromas of lemon curd, apricot, and baked apple, followed by more core flavors of pineapple, peach, melon, citrus and toasted brioche. This medium bodied Chardonnay is rich, but balanced by good acidity, making it refreshing by itself or with food. The smooth and juicy finish provides the perfect end to this delightful wine. Reax and enjoy this Chardonnay with great friends or a good book.
Grapes were harvested based on taste: early in the season for citrus qualities, mid-season for apple and pear flavours and late season for ripe peach and pineapple nuances. This was done to create a layered, complex final Chardonnay. After harvesting in the cool of the night, the grapes were delivered to the winery where they were delicately pressed and the juice was cold settled and racked into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. A portion was aged on french oak to add richness and body, while the remainder was aged in stainless steel to preserve bright aromatics and mild acidity.
Food Pairing: Pair with herb-crusted halibut, chicken caesar salad or soft cow's milk cheeses.
