Pale yellow color. Fruity aromas, peach, pear, banana, quinces, tropical fruits. At mouth, integration of honey and vanilla, with good intensity, pleasant and balanced acidity, and a long agreeable finish. Hand harvested in April. Fermented in stainless steel tanks, at 55 to 60 degrees, to maintain the fresh fruit and varietal character. Part of the wine was aged 6 months in French barrels, to balance the fruit richness with the elegance of oak. Casas Del Bosque Chardonnay can be purchased at Red Dog Wines and Spirits, Mallory Lane Wines and Spirits, and the Wine Shop of Green Hills.
