Our Nice Chardonnay is resplendent with all of the butterscotch and vanilla flavors of French oak-aged Chardonnay that define this style of California wine. We were fortunate enough to get our hands on some outstanding Chardonnay grapes from a sustainably farmed, family vineyard in the Central Coast region of California near Paso Robles. We then aged the wine one-half in new French Oak, one-half in neutral oak. We blended between the two barrel types and crafted a mere 95 cases of what we think is the perfect full-bodied Chardonnay. Fermented with the natural yeast present in the vineyard, measured malolactic fermentation, and an equal mix of new and neutral oak, we have created a wine with great complexity, ample minerality, and freshness. The must was aged 'sur lie' (on the yeast) while stirring lightly for 10 months before going to bottle. Catch that butterscotch aroma! It is intoxicating.

Enjoy with rich pasta dishes chicken, seafood, pork, or butter based sauces. If you want to experiment a bit, some chardonnay friendly spices and herbs include tarragon, Italian flat leaf parsley, thyme, lemon zest, marjoram, white pepper, shallots, and poultry seasoning blends.

My co-worker attended a wine tasting at Nice, and loved this chardonnay. Gave her another bottle for her birthday, and she replied she was going to share it with a friend "so he knows what great wine tastes like!"

A delicious chardonnay. butterscotch and green apple very true. I will not forget this Chardonany. It is full bodied and lightly oaked. Splendid.
