2019 Mercer Bros Chardonnay
This Chardonnay opens with notes of fresh ripe pear and caramel apple surrounded by notes of vanilla cream and toasted marshmallow. A core of acidity keeps the wine fresh on the palate to help balance its rich and buttery midpalate.

Vineyard Notes
The grapes for this wine come from two of the best sites in the Horse Heaven Hills; Eagle & Plow and Zephyr Ridge.
Production Notes
The grapes were harvested in the very early hours of the morning so they would arrive to the winery cool. Once at the winery, the grapes went directly to the press where the juice was gently pressed way from the skins. The juice was allowed to cold settle for two days before racking. The juice was inoculated with a Chardonnay specific yeast and allowed to ferment cool over 30 days. A portion of the blend was fermented in barrel to add rich mouth feel and complexity. We inoculated the barrels for malolactic fermentation to help contribute to the creamy mouth feel while preserving the bright natural acidity. All of the barrels were hand stirred throughout malolactic fermentation, further adding to the roundness in the mouth feel.

This has become my wife's go to every day Chardonnay. It has a low alcohol level & the acidity is flabby. I get notes of Apricot, Peach, Pear & Lime on the Primary Shrimp wrapped with Butter Lettuce & a Ginger/Sesame/Peanut Sauce. Always goes well with any White Fish.
