Our Pinot Blanc was whole` clustered pressed with no crushing or de- stemming of the grapes. We aged the wine for 10 months in French oak barrels to enhance the finish. We’ve found that leaving the wine on the lees adds the signature hazelnut character typical of Chalone white wines and builds mouth feel and finish. The result is a wine with intense fruit aromas of peaches, pears, and hints of mango and citrus. Chalone Pinot Blanc is the ultimate comfort food wine and goes great with fried chicken, mac & cheese or crab cakes.
