LATE HARVEST CHARDONNAY
In Stock
Hand-harvested from late-ripening Chardonnay blocks, this wine brings together the richness of late harvest technique with the structure of a cool-climate origin. Northern Michigan’s diurnal temperature swings create ripe tropical notes while preserving natural acidity.
Amber gold in hue with aromas of pineapple upside-down cake, baked apple, and toasted almond. The palate is plush and silky, with layered flavors of mango, peach preserves, and creamy vanilla custard. A softly sweet finish with hints of butterscotch and citrus peel.
