This unoaked Chardonnay is an accessible wine with the body of the Chardonnay grape but without the oak and buttery flavors often associated with this cultivar. The color is a brilliant green-gold and the style is dry yet fruity. The nose has pronounced tropical flavors following through onto a palate with a well-rounded, lingering citrus finish.
It is lovely with most entrees, from crisp salads to creamy soups and chicken, whether served grilled or in a creamy sauce.
"The 2014 Chardonnay, coming from granite and schist-like soils, shows loads of tropical pineapple, honeydew melons and white peach in a fresh, lively, medium-bodied style with good acidity and subtle background oak. Drink now."
