Sierra Foothills

Medium

Agglomerated Cork

White

Fermented and aged 50% in French and Slavonian oak and 50% in stainless steel, with half the wine undergoing malolactic fermentation. The result is a zesty, racy Chardonnay with lovely depth of fruit and layered, silky texture. The oak character is perfectly integrated, adding a subtle honeyed richness that complements rather than overshadows. From nose to finish, it offers aromas and flavours of green apple, white peach, creamy pear, jasmine, and a cool wet river rock character, all carried through to a long, saline-mineral finish. Quite a fashionable white.
