2008 Broadside Chardonnay, Edna Valley, California

Being naked is so natural—this is the case for this Chardonnay. What creates this natural beauty is minimal intervention, allowing malolatic fermentation to happen naturally with 90% fermented in stainless steel and 10% in Burgundian oak barrels, letting nature do most of the work. The wine has mineral notes as well as apple blossom, honey and a touch of citrus. Enjoy this expressive Chardonnay with or without food. SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE WINEMAKER: They recommend serving this wine at 52˚F. That is a tad warmer than most people serve white wines. Basically, chill it for about 1-1/2 hrs and this wine will be ready for you with all aspects in balance.
