RAVINES CHARDONNAY 2016

Full-bodied and dry, Ravines Chardonnay, exhibits lush aromas of fig, pear, citrus, and hazelnut. On the palate, this wine maintains a fine balance between fruit, toasted French oak, and crisp acidity. To yield this Chardonnay, the grapes are partially sun-dried by the traditional Italian ‘appassimento’ method, hand-picked, and finely-sorted. Such a dry white is a rare treat from a process that tends to create sweeter wines, and Ravines’ efforts were rewarded by a Double GOLD at the Finger Lakes International Wines Competition.
