Chardonnay is a smooth, dry white wine made from Chardonnay grapes. Hints of pear, apple, and almond are present with a smooth, medium finish. French oak-aged long enough to compliment the fruit without overpowering it. A nice change from the “Napa” style Chardonnays.
Favorite Pairings: grilled gingered tuna, grilled blackened tuna, pork tenderloin
The numbers: 100% Chardonnay, 0.8% Residual Sugar
Chardonnay was one of the original six wines Roger and Judy Furrow crafted for the Hickory Hill Wine List in 2001. Wendy continues to craft this wine in the exact same style. It has earned numerous awards over the last two decades with the 2011 vintage standing out slightly more than the others. There is a reason Chardonnay is one of the most widely planted white wines in the world and it can be made in many, many different styles.
