Bowers Harbor Vineyards 2005 Unwooded Chardonnay

Tasting Notes:
This Chardonnay is called “unwooded” because it has been fermented entirely in stainless steel. The wine has ripe fruit, a smooth creamy texture, and a crisp refreshing finish, expressing the varietal nuances in a sur-lie style. This wine is a regional delight because of its ability to complement the fresh water fish.

Food Pairings:
With this wine being so crisp, and the acidity level high, makes it a versatile food wine: Ricotta and Swiss Chard Gnocci; Whole roasted Sea Bass with fennel and orange zest; Chicken and Farmers cheese Enchiladas with jalapeno and corn succotash.
