Veramar 2010 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay (Shenandoah Valley)

Country: US / Barrel Fermented
Variety: Chardonnay Virginia
Winery: Veramar / Shenandoah Valley

While the nose on this Chardonnay is decidedly savory, with notes of cooked apples and buttery cheese rinds, the palate is surprisingly feminine, with pretty orange-blossom and apple jelly notes. Opulent and fruity, yet refreshingly-balanced in alcohol and acidity.
