| Food Matching Note : |
| An excellent accompaniment to fish, poultry and creamy pasta sauces, also delicious on its own on a warm day. |
| Tasting Note : |
| This refreshing Chardonnay is packed with fresh aromas of melon, pear and citrus fruits with an abundance of apricot and tropical fruit flavours on the palate and a clean, zippy citrus finish. |
| Vinification Note : |
| Fermented in a combination of barrel and stainless steel with the Tyrrells (T 306) yeast from the Hunter Valley appellation of Australia (a very ester and fruit enhancing yeast). The wine is aged and then racked into stainless steel, cold stabilised, fined and sterile filtered. |
| Detailed Vinification Note : |
| The Chardonnay for Painter Bridge is grown in two distinctly different appellations. Two-thirds of the fruit comes from the Sacramento Delta, near Paintersville - an appellation characterized by cooling Delta breezes originating in the Carquinez Straits of San Francisco Bay, and the remaining third is from the very cold and windswept Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey County. Fermented in older barrels and stainless steel to enhance pure fruit expression with the R2 yeast from the Sauternes region of France which is recognized for enhancing fruit and floral notes. The Muscat Canelli is from the cool Monterey County appellation and is fermented cold in stainless steel and is blended to enhance the enticing floral character of the Painter Bridge Chardonnay. The wine is aged and racked into stainless steel, cold stabilized, fined, and sterile filtered to bottle. |
