The Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard Chardonnay is made in the Chablis style.  Without malolactic fermentation, the wine retains its sharp, fruity character. Aging in high quality French oak prevents the "over-oaked" character of many of today's Chardonnays. Food pairings for this wine include grilled fish, shellfish and sharp cheeses. While highly approachable now, this wine will improve with age over the next 2 - 4 years.

2010 Chardonnay - Just released!
This elegant wine displays the elements of fruit and spice and is not cloaked in an oak and butter disguise. With its deep yellow straw color, this wine exhibits aromas of vanilla, ripe pear and apple, citrus and spices. The mouth feel is brilliantly balanced between acidity and toasty. The finish is long and open mainly on apple and pear fruit. This wine will be great with salad, grilled fish, and encroach into red territory matching with roasted poultry. Exceptional now, this wine will continue to develop over the next 2 - 4 years.
