DeLoach Our Finest Selection Chardonnay
DeLoach Our Finest Selection Chardonnay
DeLoach Vineyards strives to produce distinctive wines that highlight unique terroirs in a socially and environmentally responsible way, practicing sustainable viticulture and minimally intrusive winemaking techniques.
Wine Production
The grapes are whole-cluster pressed to stainless steel tanks for overnight settling. The juice is then racked to barrels for fermentation by native yeasts and malolactic conversion proceeded naturally during aging, while lees-stirring contributes to enhanced mouthfeel. After being aged for 17 months in 7% new French oak, barrels are hand-selected to assemble the final blend before bottling.
Tasting Notes
Bright apple blossom and wet stone aromas spring from the glass with floral notes. This is a full-bodied Chardonnay with flavors of rich baked apple, pear, nutmeg and clove. Lemon meringue lingers on the finish with a zesty minerality.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with spicy Ahi Poke.
