Wine Description:
Once Upon a Vine The Fairest Chardonnay is a ripe, fruit-forward, delicately oaked Chardonnay. The harvested grapes are gently pressed into barrel to allow alcoholic fermentation to take place. This allows for better oak integration and imparts a subtle richness and spicy complexity to the wine. The wine is then aged for a 10 months in a blend of French and American oak with occasional lees stirring to add texture and weight to the wine. The resulting wine is marked by aromas of ripe nose of pear, guava, pineapple and creme brulee. Lees stirring and integrated oak lend richness and weight to the fleshy fruit. These flavors linger well into the finish, leaving notes of citrus and spice.
Pros:
  • Elegant and refined flavor profile

Cons:
  • May lack complexity compared to some other Chardonnays

Wine Expert Note:

The Once Upon a Vine The Fairest Chardonnay reveals a golden hue and inviting aromas that leap from the glass. On the nose, this wine offers a range of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, intertwined with delicate floral notes. These aromas are complemented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak, adding a touch of elegance and complexity. The palate is equally enchanting, with a rich and creamy texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of juicy pear, crisp apple, and citrus zest dance on the taste buds, creating a harmonious balance of fruitiness and acidity. The wine's well-integrated oak influence provides a subtle backbone, enhancing the overall structure and adding layers of depth.
