2019 Chardonnay Reserve

Stillwater Creek Vineyard, Columbia Valley

Chardonnay 93%, Viognier 7%. Columbia Valley, Stillwater Creek Vineyard. Frermented and aged in a new Hungarian oak barrel for 9 months. The oak gave a honey bath to this natural beauty and dressed it up with flowers. This Chardonnay has citrusy notes combined with exotic fruits and floral notes as well. The Hungarian oak made this wine more elegant, without overpowering it. I blended in some Viognier to raise the acid level to create a wider palette. Pairs with roasted duck, chicken and pasta.
