CRŪ Winery, SLH Oaked Chardonnay

California, United States
Grape: Chardonnay
The final blend was aged 8 months on the stirred lees in 10% new French Oak barrels. The wines were then inoculated for malolactic fermentation at the end of primary fermentation. The MLF softened the natural acidity and cultivated tropical aromas of pineapple, guava, tangerine and honey. Vibrant citrus, yet full-bodied with toasted coconuts, apricots and spice, this stylish Chardonnay is a truly handcrafted wine that can be enjoyed with many food pairings or delightfully on its own.
