Wine Expert Note:

Flora Springs Barrel Fermented Chardonnay is a delightful and complex white wine. It showcases the classic characteristics of a well-made Chardonnay with a unique twist from the barrel fermentation process. On the nose, this wine offers enticing aromas of ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, complemented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak. The oak influence is well-integrated, adding depth and complexity to the wine without overpowering the fruit. The palate is rich and creamy, with a luscious texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of ripe pear, apple, and citrus are beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity, creating a harmonious and elegant taste profile. The wine has a medium to full body, providing a satisfying weight on the palate. The barrel fermentation process has also contributed to a subtle but noticeable complexity. It has added layers of flavors such as caramel, butterscotch, and a touch of spice, enhancing the overall character of the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of ripe fruit and a subtle hint of oak. This wine is a fantastic choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted Chardonnay with a touch of sophistication.
