This is a wild fermented, neutral barrel fermented Chardonnay that rings my favorite stylistic bells loudly. Bright acidity is the driver here, propelling a mix of apple, pear, soft vanilla, through a finish with intensity and verve. No clunkiness here, just freshness and full flavor. Try it with scallops or crab risotto.
