Hess Collection Shirtail Ranches Chardonnay

Shirtail Ranches Chardonnay is a hallmark representation of a coastally-influenced wine. We age this Chardonnay Sur Lie for approximately 6 months. Only 5% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. The nose is inviting with vanilla and lemon meringue aromas leading to bright citrus fruit flavors. Notes of orange zest and hints of green apple are supported by a pleasing acidity on the palate, and this Chardonnay has just a kiss of oak which adds interest to its medium-body, and long, pleasing finish.
