Wine Review: This pale yellow colored Chard opens with a mild clementine and melon bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and easy to drink. The flavor profile is a fruity blend with an emphasis on peach and apple with notes of lime and clementine. The finish is dry and subtle. This unoaked Chardonnay is perfect for those who like this grape in a fruit forward style. It would pair well with chicken satay. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This Chardonnay was fermented in 100% stainless steel and has not seen any oak, nor does it want to. This is crisp, concentrated Chardonnay with all its natural acid. Naked exhibits apple, white peach, and pear, finishing long with hints of citrus and mineral. Eat oysters and drink "Naked" often!! Share with a friend...
