Auspicion Chardonnay 2012

Auspicion Chardonnay shows great fruit character, finesse, and fullness in the palate. Flavors of ripe pineapple, golden apple, and Anjou pear are balanced by citrus notes and a smooth, creamy finish. A crisp, light-bodied wine meant to be enjoyed on its own or with lighter fare. Chardonnay grapes are sourced from select vineyards in California's finest cool climate regions. They were hand-harvested throughout the night and vinified in stainless steel. The wine underwent partial malolactic fermentation before bottling. A small percentage of other white grape varieties are added to the final blend to add richness.
