4 Bears Winery - 2005 Central Coast Chardonnay

2005 Central Coast Chardonnay
Price: $ 13.00 (750ml)

VINTAGE: 2005 APPELLATION: Central Coast COMPOSITION: 100% Chardonnay ALCOHOL: 13.5% pH: 3.59 TA: .61g/100ml TASTING NOTES: Our barrel fermented Central Coast Chardonnay displays tropical and peach aromas. The wine is soft on entry; with dominant fruit flavors of peach, pear and pineapple. Subtle oak notes and a hint of toast make this wine rich and full-bodied with a lingering after taste that invites you back. WINEMAKING NOTES: Our Chardonnay fruit was 100% whole-cluster pressed to minimize astringency from the skins and immediately racked to stainless steel. Once settled, the juice was placed in small French oak barrels for a slow and cool fermentation that allows the wine to develop a balance of ripe tropical fruit flavors and toasty oak nuances. Once primary fermentation was completed, a portion of the wine went through malo-lactic fermentation which softened the wine and provided a perfect balance of richness, bouquet and mouth feel.
