Green apple and pear aromatics from Clarksburg Chardonnay are accompanied by subtle notes of apricot. Barrel fermenting half of this Chardonnay in American oak frames those amazing fruit tones with toasty baking spices and hints of vanilla. Malolactic fermentation in these barrels add to the complexity and provides a touch of butter leading into a plush, velvety mouth feel. Only to finish with a crispness and high fruit tone, delivering a harmonic balance. This versatile wine pairs well with grilled fish, roasted chicken, fresh green salads and soft, mild cheeses.
