Riverbench Chard 2017

Chapel View Block Santa Maria Valley
Retail Price: $26.00
WINEMAKER'S NOTES: Chardonnay is truly one of the world's most versatile varietals, and we love showing it in all its various forms. Our version of the "no oak" trend is a standout representation of the purity of the Chardonnay grape. Crisp and bright, this wine boasts a nose of pineapple and lemon zest thanks to its fermentation in 100% stainless steel tanks. A little time sur lies and partial malolactic fermentation add a richness that balances out that tart fruit, and the palate of pear, starfruit and a hint of cream make this a perfect treat all on its own or paired with a range of foods. This vintage in particular has a gorgeous aroma of freshly cut grass thanks to cooler fermentations, and maybe a little wet river rock mixed in. Enjoy poolside, with brunch, or near the grill with friends.
