Wine Review: This white gold colored Chardonnay from Krupp Brothers is Excellent! It opens with a very fragrant lemon and light oak bouquet with a hint of white flowers. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, slightly acidic and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is an oak influenced caramel red apple with notes of lime, pineapple and butter. We also detected a hint of ginger towards the end. The finish is dry and its flavors drift away nicely. This rich Chard would pair well with a lobster casserole. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Bursting with gardenia and white peach, the 2017 Chardonnay envelopes the senses with ripe apricot and caramel. This wine is beautifully balanced showing bright acidity with mouthwatering Granny Smith apples and tangy lemon zest throughout the rich, creamy palate. Pair with pan-seared halibut marinated in garlic, olive oil and lemon thyme or butternut squash soup spiced with nutmeg and topped with a dollop of crème fraiche. Drink now through 2028.
