This early release, light-bodied Chardonnay has bright flavors such as ripe pears and apples. It has a perfect balance of fruit and acidity that finishes smoothly with just a hint of buttery taste. Surprise, yes, it is aged in neutral oak!
Petit Manseng originates in the Jurancon region of Southwest France. Usually produced as a sweet wine, this vintage reveals some interesting hidden subtleties. The bouquet starts up with tropical fruit hints, evolving some honeysuckle, pear and stone - fruit aromas. This dry, well balanced wine is delicate in the mouth with firm acidity and a hint of sweetness.
A nice blend of Vidal and Chardonnay, this is an off-dry that has residual sugar of 2.5% and makes for a wonderful table or after dinner wine on those warm summer nights.
