Bright Steel Chardonnay
Estate-Grown
This Chardonnay is made from estate-grown "Rued" Chardonnay. Winemaker, Jeff Murphy, fermented this wine at low temperatures to maintain the fruit's aromas - and produced a clear, crisp, and fruity Chardonnay with a thick structure. Subtle middle notes of orange citrus. Three-time silver medal winner from the 2024 Beverage Testing Insitute, 2024 New York Wine Classic, and 2024 Finger Lake International Wine Competition
