2007, Pfeiffer Wines, Chardonnay

Fermentation was commenced in stainless steel tanks for approximately one half of the fermentation before being transferred to new French oak barriques for completion of fermentation.  Our 2007 Chardonnay was matured on yeast lees in the barrels in which they were fermented.  The lees were agitated weekly to create a creamy texture on the palate.  After 6 months in oak, the wine was blended, fined and clarified prior to bottling.  The 2007 Pfeiffer Chardonnay exhibits ripe peach and fig characters on the nose, complemented by toasty oak aromas.  The palate is richly flavored, with ripe fruit on the mid palate and a creamy texture.  This is a lovely wine, with good balance and a clean, crisp finish.
