Peirano Estate The Heritage Collection Chardonnay

The vibrant color and aromas of fresh picked pears, ripe melon, and yellow apples instantly fill your senses and are complemented by hints of toast and spices. The mouth fills with complex flavors of sweet, rich, red and yellow apples, juicy sweet honeydew melons and baked apple pie. Soft hints of spice and vanilla round out the wine to produce a very seductive, lingering finish.

This Chardonnay is barrel aged in French and American oak barrels, 15% of which is new wood. Lees were stirred every two weeks once fermentation was complete, allowing the wine to gain complexity and structure. This makes the wine ready to drink upon release, but also age gracefully for a number of years in the bottle.
