Wine Review: This pale yellow colored Chardonnay opens with a musty mild pineapple bouquet with a hint of Nantucket roses. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and slightly acidic. The flavor profile is mild apple with hints of minerality and honey. The finish is dry and it lingers slightly. The panel suggested pairing this Chard with shrimp cocktail. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of freshly cut green apples and honeysuckle with a hint of kiwi and lemon zest. Bright, fresh, apple flavors expand on the palate, framed by lively acidity and a touch of oak. Crispness and minerality linger in the long, graceful finish. This is a wine defined by elegance and finesse.
