This is an exciting new wine from Rappahannock Cellars. 100% Chardonnay, 100% stainless steel fermented, no malolactic fermentation, and a touch of flintiness, make this wine reminiscent of Chablis, but without the Burgundian “funk.” Tons of bright fruit on the nose and palate, great Chardonnay character, and hints of tangerine, loquat, and Asian pear on the nose. The palate yields well-balanced acidity to end with a pleasantly crisp finish. Pair with a butter leaf lettuce, chilled lobster, and grapefruit, salad.
