A favorite Chardonnay producer scores yet again with a crisp, lively expression of Dutton Ranch’s tart apple and tropical fruit profile. Rich texture is preserved with 50% malolactic fermentation and some lees stirring while keeping the acidic structure clearly in focus, resulting in lively flavors and a crisp finish that pumps the pineapple character. Delicious!
