{"product_id":"francis-ford-coppola-directors-chardonnay-2016","title":"Francis Ford Coppola Director's Chardonnay 2016","description":"A smooth, velvety Chardonnay made from cool-climate Sonoma fruit.\u003cbr\u003eOur Director's Chardonnay is sourced from vineyards throughout Sonoma County, representing a range of climates, soil profiles and clonal selections. This diversity yields a complex and intriguing wine and allows for nuances in blending. Our fruit is harvested in the early morning hours and whole-cluster pressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA large percentage of the wine is then barrel fermented to achieve richness and bring out notes of vanilla and spice. The remaining wine is fermented in stainless steel for a touch of vibrant acidity, which helps create a beautiful balance. The Wine also undergoes partial malolactic fermentation for a creamy mouthfeel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy blending fruit grown in different locations, we get a wine that offers great dimension and complexity. This year’s warm vintage produced a very fragrant and juicy Chardonnay, which bestows an exotic perfume of melon, fig, tangerine and plumeria flowers followed by succulent flavors of peaches, pineapple, and spices that fold into a butterscotch finish. Enjoy with prosciutto and melon, grilled swordfish, or spicy shrimp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYEAR\u003cbr\u003e2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWINEMAKER\u003cbr\u003eCorey Beck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBLEND\u003cbr\u003e100% Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALCOHOL\u003cbr\u003e13.5%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBARREL REGIMEN\u003cbr\u003e20% stainless steel; 80% barrel fermentation, 85% French oak, 15% Hungarian oak, 30% new barrels","brand":"Francis Ford Coppola","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750ml \/ White","offer_id":1744489775129,"sku":"2247625-1","price":19.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ 750ml \/ White","offer_id":1744489840665,"sku":"2247625-1","price":19.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/products\/Francis_Ford_Coppola_Director_s_Chardonnay_2016.jpg?v=1567021786","url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/francis-ford-coppola-directors-chardonnay-2016","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
