Dreaming Tree Chardonnay

Description

An exciting collaboration between Dave Matthews and award-winning winemaker Sean McKenzie, the Dreaming Tree captures the spirit of Californias wine country. United by their shared passion to make quality wines accessible to everyone, the two friends set out on a journey to discover the unique characters and rich flavors that give the region its rare charm.A Chardonnay that captures the flavor of the central coast with its big fruit, loads of spice, and distinct pear and peach notes, we think this wine lives up to that promise, we hope you enjoy. – Sean McKenzie2015 Vintage The 2015 growing season started with a dry, mild winter and ramped up quickly from there. Similar conditions continued throughout the spring with the summer months warming up a bit, causing the grapes to fully ripen. The season ended just as it beganearlier than usual. After the two previous vintages delivered large crops, this one hit the reset button with lower-than-average yields. The resultwines with highly concentrated flavors and bright, natural acidity.Winemaking The grapes were harvested at night and early morning to keep the fruit cool. The wine was fermented and aged for eight months in a combination of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks.Tasting Notes Golden straw in color, with baked pear and peach flavors that jump out of the glass. Toasty and rich up front,finishing crisp and elegant. This well-balanced, medium-bodied wine is easy to enjoy and will bring a taste of the Central Coast right to your home.Food Pairing Delicious with grilled seafood, goat cheese and mushroom pizza, herb-roasted chicken, or stone fruit, ricotta, and arugula salad.Sustainability The environments important to us, and were pretty sure you feel the same. From the day we pick the grapes to the night you pop the cork, were making changes that add up along the wayWed rather plant trees than cut em down, which is why our labels are made with 100% recycled kraft brown paper.We figure the most significant part of your purchase should be the wine, not the bottle, so our bottles are a quarter pound lighter than normal, and take a lot less fuel to get to your table.Go ahead, pop a cork and enjoy the fruits of our laborjust dont forget to recycle the bottle. – The Dreaming Tree
