Tasting Notes: Bright straw yellow color with glimmering reflections; lively aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus zest, with hints of tropical fruit and subtle notes of vanilla and toasted oak; medium-bodied with a refreshing acidity and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel, offering flavors of ripe stone fruit, lemon curd, and a delicate mineral backbone, leading to a crisp and clean finish.
Notes: The 'Koosah' Chardonnay is crafted from carefully selected grapes sourced from premium vineyards in Oregon, showcasing the region's capacity to produce high-quality, expressive Chardonnays. The wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation, which adds a layer of creaminess while preserving freshness, and is aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels to enhance its complexity without overpowering the fruit character. The 2023 vintage is celebrated for its vibrant balance and approachability.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, seafood dishes, creamy pasta, risottos, and fresh salads. Also delightful as an aperitif on a warm day.
