Toasted Oak Chardonnay
Estate-Grown
This Chardonnay is made from estate-grown "96" Chardonnay. Winemaker, Jeff Murphy, has followed the cold-fermentation with aging with French toasted oak. The resulting Chardonnay has notes of smokey toasted oak and pears with a lingering pear finish. Winner of a Gold Medal at the 2022 Eastern International Wine Competition (and Silver at the 2021).
