2012 Stella Reserve Chardonnay 750ml

NEW RELEASE:

2012 Stella Reserve Chardonnay

This barrel fermented Reserve Chardonnay has a nutty nose reminiscent of toasted, buttered bread, fresh from a French bakery.   Stone fruits and coconut aromas are complimented by a creamy mouthfeel that offers a full palate of blood orange and mango. This  is  not  your  Grandma’s butter-oak bomb, but  a  balanced  food  wine  that  has undergone 50% malolactic fermentation to maintain an acid focus.  Transferred directly from our press into French oak barrels, it has touched no steel tanks or adjuncts (staves or oak chips), this French-style Chardonnay is sure to please.
