WINE DESCRIPTION
Lakewood Chardonnay is made from grapes sourced from New York's Seneca Lake sub-region. The grapes are harvested, sorted and pressed to separate the juice from the skins. The wine is fermented in inert vessels to retain the delicate fruit flavors. The wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation, a process used to convert the tart malic acid in the grapes to softer lactic acid. As well as giving the wine a creamier texture, this technique contributes buttery aromas. After fermentation is complete, the wine is aged for around 10 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Lakewood Chardonnay has a pale golden appearance.The nose offers simple but attractive notes of citrus fruit, butter and french vanilla. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a round texture and a hint of cream and oak spice to complement the meyer lemon and tart green apple flavors. The finish is slightly short but crisp with a hint of citrus zest.
