See Ya Later Ranch
2007 Chardonnay
VQA Okanagan Valley

Vinification
The vintage was very consistent and crop yields were low but fruit quality was excellent.
The cool harvest temperature slowed the accumulation of sugars and allowed us to hang the fruit longer and develop more varietal character. The cool harvest temperatures were particularly kind to Chardonnay.

Winemaking
This wine is made of 100% Chardonnay grapes. It was fullly barrel fermented for 35 days and went through a partial malolactic fermentation, lending to its smooth and buttery finish. Our Chardonnay was aged in 60% French oak and 40% American oak for 8 months.

Aroma / Bouquet / Nose
Be pleasantly surprised with aromas of orange peel, pineapple and butter while tasting tropical fruits with a round, rich and clean finish.

Food and Wine Pairing
Combine the fresh, light texture of Halibut with summer squash and orzo in a stone fruit butter sauce for a fabulous pairing. Also enjoyed well a triple-cream Brie accompanied by orchard fruit on a baguette.
