Acacia 2005 Winery Lake Chardonnay is a barrel-selected blend of the finest lots of Chardonnay made from Winery Lake Vineyard. The grapes were hand harvested in the early morning. The wine was fermented in barrels for two months; 50% completed malolactic fermentation. It was aged for ten months in a combination of oak barrels, 60% of which were new. This wine captures the concentrated fruit character, mineral aromas and flavors characteristic of Winery Lake Vineyard. Its depth and complexity give the impression of maturity, even in its youth. The seductive aromas of apple, pear and peach, combined with toasted oak and crème brûlée flavors, complement the mineral character. This is a medium-bodied wine with a satisfying, long finish. Enjoy it paired with roast chicken with lemon and herbs, seafood risotto or summer salads.
