DanCin 2015 Mélange Chardonnay (Southern Oregon)

Country: US / Mélange
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: DanCin / Southern Oregon

The name references the mix of fermentation techniques—40% neutral oak, 40% stainless steel and 20% new French barrels. Peach and papaya fruit are accented by a light streak of honey and a whiff of wet stone. This is both nuanced and beautifully proportioned.
