White Wine Flights

FLIGHT I. “First Class” Flight of Chardonnay
In the U.S., wines made from the Chardonnay grape are labeled “Chardonnay.” The Chardonnay grape can produce a wide variety of flavors. Unoaked Chardonnay lets flavers of the grape, such as apple and citrus, come through. Chardonnay can pick up flavors from being fermented and/or aged in oak that may be perceived as vanilla. A second fermentation, called malolactic fermentation, will give Chardonnay a rich butter flavor. | $12.50
