2022 Bitner Estate Chardonnay
TASTING NOTES
This viscous yet bright Chardonnay is golden straw in color, with upfront aromas of pear blossoms, and honeydew melon. Flavors of pear preserves layer with papaya and mango notes, finishing with the crispness, flavor, and acidity of a Honeycrisp apple. Enjoy this big Chardonnay with poultry or pasta in cream sauces, buttery pastries, pulled pork, or salmon.
