FOUR VINES CENTRAL COAST NAKED CHARDONNAY

 There’s a vibrant sense of crisp Asian pear flesh, citrus blossom and light mint on the nose of this very affordable bottling. The palate is tightly wound with melon rind, lime pith, pear flesh and a slight hint of guava.

This white was fermented mostly in stainless steel, with a small portion lightly sheathed in toasted French oak for malolactic treatment. Disrobing with a perfume of key lime and toasted marshmallow, it leaves a clean, leesy feeling on the palate. Rich caramel apple is calmed by minerality that surfaces mid-palate, joined by succulent notes of banana and guava.
