Winemaker Notes
Continuing to hold true to its Old World roots of brightness, minerality and racy freshness, this Estate Chardonnay tastes of pomelos, Fuji apples and lemon curd with a subtle hint of toasted oak.
Enjoy with grilled shellfish, spring salads, or just kicking back under a shade tree on a hot summer afternoon.
Blend: 100% Chardonnay

Wine & Spirits
The Bundschu family farms 32 acres of chardonnay at the base of their Rhinefarm vineyard, the coolest portion where the oldest block dates to 1970 and the rest are still in their teens. They ferment 20 percent in stainless steel, the rest in used barrels, allowing the scents of white flowers and the zesty fruit to shine. Jason Jacobeit, of NYC’s Bâtard and Somm Cellars, described it as a wine with “discretion and textural appeal. Wine and Spirits Year's Best US Chardonnay

Wine Enthusiast
Layered and rich, this wine exudes flavors of green apple and buttered popcorn, with moderate acidity and oak in supporting roles. A baking spice accent adds to the warmth and appeal.
