A hint of tropical fruit in this bright Chardonnay echoes the sun-drenched vineyards of California. Cooler temperatures lengthens the growing season and gives the fruit plenty of time on the vine to develop bright acidity and complex flavors. This wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks, with a portion fermented with French and American oak to add complexity. The wine underwent partial malolactic fermentation to soften the mouthfeel and lend it a balanced creamy richness.
