- Winemaker Gilles Nicault
- Appellation Columbia Valley
- Varietal Chardonnay
Winemaker Gilles Nicault has experimented with Chardonnay since the beginning of the Long Shadows collaboration to perfect a proprietary fermentation process and stye found in this wonderfully expressive wine.
Tasting Notes:
PDFA deeply aromatic Chardonnay offering exotic tropical fruits, white peach and a hint of honey on the nose. The mouthfeel is rich and viscous delivering layered flavors of stone fruit, dried apricot, baking spice, and freshly baked bread. Beautifully focused, with just enough acidity to lift the expression and complexity of the wine while leaving a pleasant fruitiness and hint of minerality on the finish.
Two of Washington’s oldest Yakima Valley Chardonnay vineyards provide the grapes for this delicious wine. Wente clone Chardonnay from French Creek Vineyard, east of Prosser and Boushey Vineyard, north of Grandview, were chosen for the vibrant, lively character that defines Chardonnay grown on both these sites.
