Macari 2002 Chardonnay Reserve Barrel Fermented

Vineyard Notes:
Macari Vineyards, located on the North Fork of Eastern Long Island in Mattituck, is owned and operated by the Macari Family. Macari is dedicated to a more natural approach to winemaking. Extensive soil preparation, rich composts, careful cover cropping and a consideration to wildlife and terrain are what makes Macari's 180 planted acres stand out from the rest. And all of these premium efforts ultimately produce premium wines.

Winemaker Tasting Notes:
Pale golden-yellow in color this dense Chardonnay is firmly structured with a vibrant core of cooked fruit. On the palate the wine is broad, with a medium toast. Aged in French barrique this wine is rich, elegant, and lively, perfectly balanced with ripe fruit and a beautiful mineral-like citrusy finish.
