Wine Description
Long, cool fermentation in a mixture of old and new barrels gives Groth Chardonnay layers of fruitiness and complexity that result in a wine that is very enjoyable when young or after several years of bottle age. This method of fermentation, in conjunction with whole cluster pressing and "sur lie" aging add layers of toastiness and creaminess to the wine. Together these components meld together harmoniously to create a balanced wine that is both lively and rich in aroma and flavor.
Menu suggestion: "Roasted chicken is a natural with this crisp well-balanced wine. I like to roast the chicken with apples, onions and fingerling potatoes." Kimball Jones, Culinary Director
