Kestrel Old Vine Chardonnay

Taste The 2008 Kestrel Chardonnay is a powerful and particularly well balanced Chardonnay.  The wine boasts a rich mineral element, is full bodied, and bursting with butter, green apple, toffee, vanilla, honey dew melon, lemon grass and toasted nuts.  A terrific food wine with crisp acidity balanced by buttery oak.  The combination of the wild yeast strains, the Wente Clone, and the manner in which it was fermented and cared for created a complex wine with many layers.   As the layers unfold you will see the breadth of this wine, and find a whole new appreciation for Chardonnay.
