Naked Chardonnay

Naked Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $15.99 per bottle

Description: "Naked" Chardonnay is fermented at a low temperature in stainless steel. This promotes the formation of citrusy esters such as lime and lemon, and some tropical fruit flavors, which are prevalent in the nose and on the palate. Also Naked Chardonnay is not put through malo-lactic fermenation. This secondary fermentation lowers the apparent acidity and leads to the buttery character you find in most "traditional" Chardonnays. Thus, our Naked Chardonnay comes through as very clean, lively, refreshing, and acidic--a real palate tingler!
