2015 Peace on Earth Chardonnay
This Chardonnay has a brilliant golden straw color. The aroma has a blend of citrus and tropical notes that are vibrant and rich. The palate has creaminess and you will find characteristics of melon, citrus fruit, apples and a slight bit of tropical fruit on the nose and that carry through to the finish. The wine has a crisp freshness from a good balance of acidity. This wine would be delicious with grilled halibut with grilled peached compote, Chinese chicken salad with fresh Mandarin oranges, or barbequed ham with a pineapple glaze.
The grapes that produced this wine are from the best regions that California has to offer. The fruit benefits from warm sunny days and cool nights as a result of gentle breezes coming from the Pacific Ocean. This allows the fruit to mature and have a proper balance between fruit character and structure. The fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness and was crushed, pressed, and fermented in stainless steel vessels. The wine went through a cool fermentation in which adds depth and complexity to the wine.
