Fel Chardonnay 2015

The signature of FEL's Anderson Valley Chardonnay is its bright fruit and fresh flavors that are on full display due to the absence of new oak or malolactic fermentation. The nose is rich with aromas of green melon, Granny Smith apple, and grapefruit. On the palate, bright flavors of Meyer lemon, Asian pear, and white peach give way to subtle hints of quince and apple pie. The refreshing acidity leaves a mouthwatering finish that invites another sip.

Freshness and lively acidity balance out the ripe apple and pear flavors in this medium-bodied, well-rounded wine from Mendocino County's cool, coastal Anderson Valley. It's a breath of fresh air compared to many overly sweet, buttery oak bombs.
