Often referred to as the “Catch-All Chard,” this style is appreciated by many types of Chardonnay lovers. For those who prefer the leaner styles, the 2012 Estate Chardonnay caters to their palates exhibiting aromas and flavors of lime, white flowers and stone fruit with a fresh, mouthwatering acidity. Spending 11 months in oak along with weekly bâttonnage, this wine has the rich, lush mouth-feel and warm spices that a fuller bodied Chardonnay drinker will appreciate. The 2012 season was considered a dream vintage that provided a rainy spring and warm, even temperatures which were perfect for growing beautiful grapes from which winemaker Lisa Bishop Forbes created a Chardonnay with the perfect balance of ripeness and elegance.
Winemaker Notes
The Chalk Hill 2012 Estate Chardonnay captures the vibrant, complex and classic character of our estate-grown grapes. We are dedicated to making exceptional Chardonnay, and no detail is overlooked. This Chardonnay exhibits beguiling aromas of limes, orange blossoms, peaches and toasted almonds with a bit of spice from the barrels. Flavors of red apples, pears and cream follow. Our Chardonnay is known for its long, rich and elegant finish, and this vintage is no exception.
