"This wine is rich, opulent with aromas of ripe green apple, peach, mulled spice, toasty vanilla cream and orange zest on the nose. The flavors on the palate are yellow apple, allspice and white grapefruit that transform into orange sherbet, mineral and a long, silky finish. Pair with weekday meals" Tonya Pitts, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, May 2024

Yellow golden. 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 mouthfeel. Only to finish with a crispness and high fruit tone, delivering a harmonic balance.
