2021 Silver Lake Chardonnay
Tasting notes
A new take on Chardonnay, this wine is fermented only in stainless steel, revealing a pure expression of the varietal, with crisp citrus flavors, lovely acidity and a silky texture. This Chardonnay is well-suited for light appetizers or as an accompaniment to virtually any fish or chicken dish. It’s a crisp, transparent straw color with a fresh pineapple aroma. Soft, pleasant and flavorful on the palate, this wine delivers a load of fruit including citrus, pineapple and apricot.
Ripe Chardonnay grapes were harvested, crushed, and pressed to barrel where the juice was inoculated with a selected yeast strain. Upon completion of primary fermentation, the wine was put through malolactic fermentation in barrel. The wines were then aged in oak barrels for an additional three months. Finally, the chardonnay was transferred to stainless steel, prepped for bottling, and bottled.
