2009 Barrel Select Chardonnay
Virginia

Vineyard Source: A blend of Crown                            p.H.: 3.63
Orchard Vineyard and Mt. Juliet Vineyard
in Charlottesville and Quaker Run Vineyard           Acidity: 5.86 grams/Liter
in Madison.

Fermentation: 100% fermented in a mix of               Sweetness: Dry              
French and American oak barrels

Aging: 22 months ‘sur lees’ in both French and American
oak barrels with lees stirring monthly.

Comments: This wine is worth the wait. As one of our longest aged wines, this Chardonnay shows its intensity and complexity right up front. Highly aromatic with notes of vanilla and butter cream, this smooth wine is the perfect match for poultry dishes with cream sauces.
