WINE DESCRIPTION
Outlot Chardonnay is a white wine from California. It is made with fruit primarily sourced from the Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. What makes this wine unique is the inclusion of 10% of the aromatic variety Gewurztraminer to add aromatic richness to the mainstay of Chardonnay. This adds extra richness to the mid-palate granting it an oily texture and additional exotic tropical fruit notes to the nose. Oak maturation add toasty notes of butterscotch to the finish. The end result is a wine with opulent fruit and texture without being overly reliant upon oak and posessing a fine sense of balance for something so rich. Drinkers of Californian Chardonnay should try this wine at least once.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Outlot Chardonnay is unique for the inclusion of a small proportion of Gewurztraminer in support of the main grape.On the nose, expect to be greeted by enticing aromas of ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, complemented by hints of yellow peach. The palate is dry and generous with an oily texture and balanced acidity. The finish is moderate with butterscotch notes from toasted oak. This is a generous wine that remains well balanced. It is will suited to spicy foods like chicken with a mango and chilli salsa. Drink within 5 years.
