This straw colored Chardonnay has tropical aromas of mango and melon complemented by hints of toasty oak. Flavors of crème brûlée are mellowed by pineapple, pear and ripe melon. An opulent Chardonnay that is balanced by a lingering fruit driven finish with lovely notes of butter and toasted marshmallow.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tastingnotes\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"WineMakerNotes\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\nSix different clones of Chardonnay were artfully blended to create this wine. All the grapes were picked at night and delivered to the winery before sunrise to ensure the fruit was crushed when cool. Clone 809 (the most exotic clone) was fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain the honeysuckle and orange blossom characters. The other clones were barrel fermented and received 100% aging in a combination of French, hybrid American, and Hungarian oak barrels. We used yeast “cocktails” (a mixture of our winemaker’s favorite compatible yeasts) on all lots to allow complex fermentation characters to evolve in the wine. We stirred the lees weekly for eight months to enhance texture and flavor.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"WineMakerNotes\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"FoodPairing\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePairings\u003c\/h4\u003e\nEnjoy this wine on its own or paired with panko crusted salmon, roasted pine nut chicken or wild mushroom risotto.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"FoodPairing\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OtherNotes\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOther Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n100% Giguiere Family Dunnigan Hills Chardonnay\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crew Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750ml \/ White","offer_id":1744971989017,"sku":"2240873-1","price":16.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ 750ml \/ White","offer_id":1744972054553,"sku":"2240873-1","price":16.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/products\/Matchbook_Chardonnay_2016.jpg?v=1567022041","url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/matchbook-chardonnay-2016","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
