This Smoking Loon Chardonnay opens with aromas of juicy, bruised pear with hints of vanilla, papaya and red apple. This medium-bodied, fruit-forward Chardonnay is nicely balanced and finishes with delicate notes of French oak, light vanilla, and caramel. 70% Malolactic fermentation gives it a little bit more weight in the mid-palate. The acidity keeps this wine lively and is ideal for pairing with foods such as hummus with pita chips or shrimp pasta.
