<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Tasting Notes:</span><br>
Golden Straw color, aromas of lemon curd and other citrus and tropical fruits, toasty oak, vanilla and a hint of butterscotch. Refreshing acidity, minerality and a lengthy finish. Pair this wine with hearty seafood dishes, shellfish, poultry, or as an aperitif.

Founded in 1998 by Richard and Mary Kay Alfaro, Alfaro Family Vineyards is dedicated to the production of Estate Bottled <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/grape-varietal/pinot-noir.html"target=_new>Pinot Noir</a> and <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/grape-varietal/Chardonnay.html"target=_new>Chardonnay</a>. This Chardonnay comes from an own-rooted vinifera block of vines, planted in 1998.<br><br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;"> Winemaking Notes:</span><br>
The grapes were 100% whole cluster pressed into a tank for cold settling overnight. The next day they were racked into 100% french oak barrels, 50 % of which were new. Each barrel from that point on was treated dividually. Using a variety of cultured and indigenous yeasts the wines were fermented to dryness. The barrels were then topped up and aged on their lees. During the ageing process they were routinely stirred and underwent complete malo-lacic fermentation. After 11 months of barrel age, the wines were racked, blended, settled and then bottled without fining or filtration.
