Fermented and aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, this estate-grown Chardonnay brings depth and richness to Northern Michigan's cool-climate hallmark. Medium gold in hue, it offers ripe pear, baked apple, honeydew, and toasted hazelnut on the nose. The palate layers lemon curd, brioche, warm spice, subtle oak tannin, and vanilla cream over a long finish.
