Complex, creamy, nutty.
The reserve Chardonnay from T7 is 100% barrel aged (one year-old American oak), lees stirred and put through 100% malolactic (secondary) fermentation The nose offers smoked pears, roasted nuts, scorched orange peel sweet churned butter and brown spices. The palate is nutty and creamy with vanilla, orange segments, pineapples and grilled pears culminating in a spiced finish. Very good complexity and lively acidity to balance.
Pair: lobster, cedar planked salmon, creamy chicken dishes, creamy fettucini, grilled white fish, breaded and fried oysters, roast chicken or squash ravioli.
