FitVine Chardonnay NV

Lackluster experience, with the apple oak butter serving as a forgettable accompaniment to the home setting.

Chardonnay that's far from the crisp, citrusy style I'm accustomed to. The wine has a rich, golden hue, with a scent that's defined by by citrus notes, containing lemon and lime, alongside floral hints and a elegant mineral presence. The flavor profile is highlighted by buttery, peachy notes, and a trace of spicy warmth, punctuated by a touch of white pepper.

The winemaker's representative, who is pouring the wines, does not even partake in the beverage herself, nor does she inform me that her company has instructed her to discourage their agents from consuming wine. The wine's color is a pale to medium yellow, with a nose that is led by by the aromas of vanilla, lemon peel, and lime juice. The tongue is light and refreshing, with a consistency that is reminding of lemon curd and lime zest. The wine's finale is vibrant and refreshing, with a good stability of tartness and a dash of sweetness. It is a right elite for those who prefer a lighter-bodied wine.
