Winemaker Chuck Ortman Notes
Finding an oaked Chardonnay? Simple. Finding one with a balance between rich fruit flavors and a delicate toasty note? Not so much. There certainly exists a fine line between luscious and overdone, so when you find a happily well adjusted wine, you won’t want to let it go! Our Chardonnay is truly luxurious, showing typical Riverbench tropical fruit nuances with a lasting finish of pear and honey. This wine is the perfect partner to decadent potato latkes, roasted butternut squash or some creamy Southern she-crab soup. Either way, keep a bottle handy for dinner with friends- you’re sure to get invited back.
