  This is a very good example of an unoaked Chardonnay. It has lots of zingy fresh-fruit aromas, lively citrus and green-apple flavors and good supportive acidity to keep the mouthfeel tangy. Winemaker Karl Wente made this one to please his no-frills dad, Eric Wente.

  Aromas of this medium-bodied, un-oaked wine suggest sliced pears and apples, while the flavors are equally fruity but have a leaner feel. The texture is dry, firm and crisp, making this a great pairing for shellfish and many other dishes.

  This unoaked Chardonnay is marked by quite crisp acidity, as the malolactic fermentation was prevented. It's the opposite of opulent, a flinty wine with hints of Meyer lemons and Kaffir limes. Try with shellfish.
